The Ribbon armchair stands as an international design icon, originating in 1966 from the visionary mind of designer Pierre Paulin. Embracing the Möbius strip's concept, it exudes modernity while ensuring comfort. Crafted with a metal frame supported by horizontal springs, enveloped in foam and stretch fabric, it rests gracefully on a lacquered pressed-wood pedestal.
Conceived by Pierre Paulin in 1965, the Ribbon armchair revolutionized furniture design, prioritizing organic forms and comfort over conventional symmetry. Recognized with the esteemed Chicago Design Award in 1969, its avant-garde aesthetics and unparalleled comfort catapulted it to global fame. Its metal structure with horizontal springs, padded with foam and flexible fabric, epitomizes Paulin's hallmark, emphasizing comfort and ergonomics.
Paulin's collaboration with Dutch firm Artifort from 1960 to 1970 marked a golden era of furniture innovation. Artifort, renowned for contemporary furnishings, played a pivotal role in producing and distributing the Ribbon armchair, alongside other Paulin masterpieces. Displayed in prestigious collections such as the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne and New York's MoMA, the Ribbon armchair continues to inspire contemporary designers worldwide.
