Iconic model F572 lounge chair designed by Pierre Paulin and manufactured by Artifort, The Netherlands 1967. The F572 is a rare piece, with production limited to the period of 1967 to 1968 and it’s no longer being made today. It has a beautiful sculptural shape, Pierre Paulin’s skills as a sculptor shine through in this chair offering not only aesthetic appeal but also perfect seating. The design is timeless and kind of resembles a little flower unfolding. It’s reupholstered in a yellow Tonus fabric by Kvadrat so the chair is in excellent condition. It can be in any room and any style of interior due to its size and look. Literature; Pierre Paulin designer Archibooks 2008, page 213. Pierre Paulin was born in Paris in 1927, he had a French father and a German-speaking Swiss mother. He trained to be a ceramist in Vallauris and then a stone-carver in Burgundy but got into a fight and injured his right arm ending his dreams as a sculptor, forcing him to switch gears to design and study at École Camondo in Paris. Relations with the Gascoin company, he would gain interest in Scandinavian and Japanese design which would influence his works later on. Pierre Paulin had his debut exhibition at the Salon des arts ménagers in 1953. Afterwards, he would appear on the cover of the magazine La Maison Francaise. A year later he would be employed by the Thonet company and began experimenting with stretching swimwear materials over traditionally made chairs. Around 4 years later he would join the Maastricht-based Dutch manufacturers Artifort where he is best known for his innovative designs as the Mushroom Chair (1959), the Ribbon Chair (1966) and the Tongue chair (1968) that used foams and metallic frames with stretch materials and clear lines that cradled the body. The combination of these materials made Paulin’s chair designs rounder, and comfortable shapes that are still being used in chairs today. At his time working for Artifort, Paulin quoted “It represented the first full expression of my abilities. I considered the manufacture of chairs to be rather primitive and I was trying to think up new processes” he said in 2008. Paulin was also highly influential and involved in French design through the 1970s. Clearly influenced by his training as a sculptor and his German roots as well as the work of early modernists, Paulin was even more impacted by the work of George Nelson and Charles Eames and the significance of the social component of modern design.

Rare and amazing pair of easy chairs by Martin Visser for ‘t Spectrum, Holland, 1964. These chairs are model SZ02, documented in several books and catalogues by ‘t Spectrum as model SZ02. These were only produced from 1964-1965 so they are very hard to find. The chairs have brushed steel tubular frames, black leather arm rests and newly upholstered seats like it original was with Ploegwool fabric, this fabric was the closest we could find to the original fabric. Comfort seating and splendid effluence. Fantastic pair of modernist chairs, brought back to perfect condition with preservation of authenticity. The original black leather arms have some wear but we preferred to keep them original. I don’t think we have to explain why Rietveld used these chairs in one of his last designed interiors in 1964.
