Pierre Paulin Ribbon Chair in Jack Lenor Larsen Momentum fabric for Artifort, Netherlands

The Ribbon Chair is among Pierre Paulin’s most celebrated designs, a sculptural seating form that perfectly reflects the designer’s innovative approach to comfort and modern living. Originally designed in the 1960s for Artifort, the design remains one of the most recognisable icons of twentieth century furniture.

This particular example was produced by Artifort in the early 2000s and is upholstered in the original Jack Lenor Larsen Momentum fabric. The vibrant textile features a rich composition of colours that beautifully emphasizes the chair’s flowing silhouette and organic form, giving it a striking appearance.

Viewed from every angle, the Ribbon Chair possesses a strong sculptural presence while offering exceptional comfort, which Paulin’s designs are famous for. Its sweeping lines and distinctive shape blur the boundary between furniture and art, making it a striking addition to any interior.

The chair remains in excellent condition and retains its original upholstery. An enduring design classic by Pierre Paulin, represented in the collections of leading institutions including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne.
