to mark this special year, all of paulin’s designs for artifort are available in the fabric momentum.
some milestones demand action, and the special jubilee of pierre paulin was certainly no exception. paulin is one of artifort’s most talked-about designers. not only is he 80 this year, but he has also been active as a designer for 60 years, and has designed for artifort for 50 of them.
in the nineteen-fifties, pierre paulin, born in france, was invited by kho liang ie to present his prototypes at an international furniture show.
this planted the seeds for a working relationship that was to bear very special fruit over the next 50 years – half a century. who does not know such modern classics as ribbon, orange slice, tongue, butterfly and mushroom?
again, the worldwide prize-winning designs of paulin appear as true works of art.
this momentum fabric was designed in 1967 by jack lenor larsen and has been returned to production this year by artifort. this exceptional design by larson lends an extra dimension to paulin’s seating sculptures. at the time, they were revolutionary.
now they have become timeless. an evergreen.
