Pacha Lounge Chair
B Y P I E R R E PA U L I N
Legendary French designer Pierre Paulin originally designed the Pacha Chair in 1975. Paulin designed the
chair in harmony with the changing design style of its period, replacing the austerity of post-war design
with a new, vigorous approach.
Paulin managed to give a real elegance to the rounded forms of the Pacha Lounge Chair by finding the
perfect proportions, raising it lightly on its base and tracing in the foam and upholstery with stitching lines
inclined inwards. Through pieces like the Pacha Lounge Chair, Pierre Paulin pioneered low-level living; a
modern way of living and sitting on the floor, by getting rid of chair legs.
With comfort as the constant starting-point in his designs, the curvaceous, whimsical and organic shapes of
the Pacha Lounge Chair are conceived to serve the body, providing both comfort and cosiness. Looking as
contemporary today as when it first was designed, the Pacha Lounge Chair is an honest, functional piece
that brings life and character to any interior setting.
