Paulin s signature innovation was to wrap his pieces in colorful stretch jersey, softening them and concealing their inner steel and wood. In their casual, kinetic sprawl, his chairs not only offered an invitation to relax and lounge; they also took the temperature of Paris in the late 1960s. Fascinated by the possibilities of new materials, Paulin was both a modernist and a traditionalist, a designer who took equal care designing ordinary objects such as fans, razors, and fondue pots as he did outfitting the private quarters of French presidents Pompidou and Mitterand. This vibrantly illustrated book draws from previously unpublished archives a wealth of vivid drawings, models, and photographs to reveal the restless energy of this midcentury icon, whose works are finding new popularity today. 600 10 $a Paulin, Pierre, $d 1927-2009 $v Catalogs. 600 17 $a Paulin, Pierre, $d 1927-2009. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01732188 650 0 $a Furniture design $z France $x History $y 20th century $v Catalogs. 650 7 $a Furniture design. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00936534 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 650 7 $a ARCHITECTURE / Interior Design. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a DESIGN / Furniture. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a DESIGN / Interior Decorating. $2 bisacsh 600 14 $a Paulin, Pierre, $d 1927-2009. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Catalogs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423692 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Aillagon, Jean-Jacques, $e contributor. 700 1 $a Chelly, Benjamin, $e photographer. 700 1 $a Roberts, Anthony F., $d 1950- $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710110722.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B1EEAFE0FDB011E7BCC604F996128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
