An exceptionally rare pair of model f570 lounge chairs, designed by pierre paulin for artifort in 1963. regarded as one of paulin's most refined early designs, the f570 combines sculptural organic forms with an elegant tubular steel base, resulting in a chair that appears to float effortlessly within its architectural frame. produced for only a short period due to its complex and costly manufacturing process, the f570 is considerably rarer than many of paulin's other celebrated designs. today it is sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts alike for its scarcity, distinctive silhouette, and historical importance within the designer's oeuvre. the model is extensively documented in the literature on pierre paulin's work and artifort's design history, including pierre paulin: un univers de formes, as well as retrospective publications dedicated to artifort's iconic mid-century furniture. this pair retains its original red upholstery, presenting an authentic vintage appearance with a rich patina developed over decades of careful use. the upholstery remains structurally sound, showing only light, age-appropriate signs of wear consistent with its vintage character. The original foam and interior construction continue to provide the generous comfort for which pierre paulin's seating designs are renowned. for collectors or interior designers seeking a tailored finish, we also offer a bespoke reupholstery service prior to shipping. the chairs can be upholstered in a fabric of your choice, including premium textiles from renowned manufacturers such as kvadrat, pierre frey, dedar, or other luxury fabric houses, while preserving the original character of the design. details designer: pierre paulin manufacturer: artifort model: f570 design year: 1963 origin: the netherlands period: mid-century modern materials: tubular steel, fabric, foam upholstery: original red fabric condition: good vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age and use i have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs, designer records, or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
