Mushroom Armchair
Pierre Paulin
Production Artifort
Armchair designed by Pierre Paulin for Artifort, 1960.
The Mushroom F560 brings Pierre Paulin’s interest in organic form and comfort into a single, continuous volume. Its tubular steel frame is hidden beneath the fabric upholstery, shown here in category A, allowing the chair’s soft silhouette to take centre stage. The form narrows at the base before opening out towards the top, creating an enveloping seat with a sculptural, uninterrupted profile. Designed in 1960, the armchair anticipates the fluid, seamless shapes that would become central to Paulin’s work. Also available with other upholstery options on request.
Design: 1960
Dimensions: W 90 × D 65 × H 67 cm
Pierre Paulin
Pierre Paulin (1927–2009) was an influential French designer renowned for his modernist and innovative furniture, characterized by organic lines, bold colors, and materials such as stretch fabrics over metal frames. His work redefined modern living and left a lasting impact on 20th-century design. Originally trained as a sculptor, Paulin was forced to abandon his artistic career due to an injury, yet he became a pioneer of form and functionality, collaborating with companies like Thonet and Artifort and furnishing the private apartments of President Pompidou at the Élysée Palace.
