Tulipe armchair Model F545 by Pierre Paulin, published by Artifort, Circa 1970

An icon of 20th-century design, the Tulip armchair (model F545) is an emblematic creation by Pierre Paulin, produced by Artifort during the 1960s–70s. With its organic, futuristic silhouette, this chair perfectly embodies the sculptural approach of the French designer, who consistently sought to combine formal innovation with ergonomic comfort. This particular model is presented in a rare grey suede-like fabric, both elegant and sensuous to the touch, resting on a circular chromed metal base. The chair’s tulip-inspired form, reminiscent of a blooming flower, envelops the body in a generous and fluid seat. The floating headrest and matching ottoman further enhance both comfort and the piece’s harmonious lines. A true masterpiece of functional design, the Tulip armchair has become a symbol of organic modernism and is featured in the collections of major design museums around the world. A rare collector’s piece, ideal for any vintage design enthusiast or to elevate a contemporary interior with a touch of timeless sophistication.
