The Tulip armchair for Artifort…. as if designer Pierre Paulin had premonitions of flower power! The simple Tulip spreads its half-open petals around the sitter, inviting and warming at the same time. The stately Tulip is an eminently comfortable armchair. With its matching footstool, it makes a strong and yet exceptionally comfortable combination. Artifort still includes many of Paulin’s designs dating from 1960s and 1970s in its permanent collection. This collection will grow further based on a meticulous search within our rich archives to reintroduce, from time to time. In 2003, the Tulip was reintroduced in the Artifort collection.
