The first sketches that Pierre Paulin (1927-2009) drew for what was
to become the Pacha Collection were simple pencil outlines that
resembled illustrative clouds. One of those sketches went on to
become the Pacha Lounge Chair, and the design was the result of
extensive research into the notion of comfort.
When the Pacha Collection was designed in 1975, it replaced the
austerity of post-war design with a more organic approach, reflecting
the changing design style of the time. Utilising new innovations in
bent plywood and foam technology, the generously curved forms of
the collection were conceived, first and foremost, to serve the human
body. Their rounded outlines and perfectly considered proportions
offer high levels of comfort.
The Pacha Collection today includes Pacha Lounge Chair with and
without armrest, the Pacha Ottoman as well as the Pacha Sofa,
which enable endless combinations to adapt to changing needs and
environments – just as Paulin originally intended. Now you can sit
upon a whole cloud formation.
