important is his background in sculpting and stone carving which is the reason why his designs are often opulent and expressive.

in 1958, artifort’s head of design kho liang le recruited pierre paulin – his designs are still produced by artifort today.
paulin said of his time at the company: “it represented the first full expression of my abilities. I considered the manufacture of chairs to be rather simple and i was trying to think up new processes.”
