Ribbon Chair by Pierre Paulin, 1966

  • Designed By - Pierre Paulin
  • When - 1966
  • Made From - Tubular steel, upholstery and lacquered wood
  • Manufactured By - Artifort
  • More Info - This sculptural got it’s name because it looks like a piece of curved ribbon and it is now a modern classic. Pierre Poulin said "A chair should be more than simply functional. It should be friendly, fun and colourful" and the Ribbon Chair is certainly friendly, fun and colourful, as well as comfortable and stylish. It has a bold sinuous shaped seat which is contrasted well with a rectangular metal base. The chair won an AIA award and is exhibited in the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. There is a matching ottoman. It is available in many different colours and patterns of fabric.
