Its sculptural form — two gently curved shells appearing to float above a slender chromed steel base — expresses Paulin’s genius for combining functional comfort with a bold, organic aesthetic.

This example is an original 1970s Artifort production, recently re-upholstered in luxurious white bouclé fabric. The new upholstery accentuates the chair’s elegant contours and adds a tactile softness that beautifully contrasts with the polished chrome frame. The result is a timeless statement piece that embodies both mid-century craftsmanship and contemporary refinement. The Slice represents Pierre Paulin’s philosophy that furniture should bring movement and emotion into a space. Its open, embracing form invites relaxation while maintaining a light and architectural presence. Whether placed in a modern living room, reading corner, or creative studio, this piece elevates any interior with its sculptural clarity and comfort.

Condition: Excellent. Fully re-upholstered in new bouclé; chrome base in very good vintage condition with minor traces of age. Structurally sound and ready for daily use.
