Where traditional furniture was content with rigid, rectilinear structures, Paulin sculpted comfort directly into the mass using metal structures coated with injected foam and stretch fabrics, defying weight, rigidity, and the perception of matter. His works, true pop and modernist icons, are exhibited in the world's largest museums (MoMA in New York, Centre Pompidou in Paris).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAn Aesthetic Feat: The Deconstruction of Form\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"9\"\u003eOrange Slice\u003c\/i\u003e series, introduced in the early 1960s, is emblematic of his work on life, play, and lightness:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Main Visual Aspect (The Illusion of Slices):\u003c\/b\u003e The armchair owes its famous name to its unique construction.

To reveal all the magic of the organic curves and the deep vibration of the purple fabric, place them imperatively near a source of natural light (like a large bay window) or on a graphic rug with contrasting patterns. The light will pass through the space between the two shells, illuminating the silhouettes as if they are coming to life in a state of weightlessness. I recommend arranging them slightly three-quarters to each other to create a visual dialogue and maximize their sculptural impact.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Abalone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60035361243470,"sku":null,"price":2300.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1038\/0804\/1294\/files\/IMG_5952.jpg?v=1783073488","url":"https:\/\/villa5070.fr\/en\/products\/fauteuil-orange-slice-pierre-paulin-pour-artifort-tissu-violet-dorigine","provider":"VILLA5070","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
