During an international furniture show, organized by Kho Liang le, Pierre Paulin (1927) made a big impression with a contemporary shell armchair.
Soon after the show he becomes a freelance designer for Artifort. It is the start of a long and fruitful collaboration.

The Pierre Paulin F444 is sought after worldwide by international interior designers as the Lounge chair is a true work of art.
It gives so much character to the interior thanks to the minimalist frame combined with the beautiful natural leather.
This chair gets more and more beautiful every year.

Pierre Paulin's designs are distinguished by their striking sculptural design. Paulin wins many prizes worldwide with it.
His work appears to be timeless and modern and progressive to this day.

In addition to furniture, he also designed the interiors of the French presidents Pompidou and Mitterand in the Elysée Palace in Paris.
On June 13, 2009, Pierre Paulin passed away in a hospital in Montpellier (France). French President Sarkozy spoke of him as “he who made design an art”.
In November 2009, Paulin was posthumously awarded the British honour, Royal Designer for Industry (RDI).
