Timeless elegance untouched by fleeting fashion.
The above features perfectly distinguish the "Tongue" lounge chairs of the 1st edition, created by Pierre Paulin and produced in the 1960s by Artifort in the Netherlands. This 1960s design icon, which was recently featured among some of Paulin's most famous works at the Galerie Perrotin, is closer to a cushion than to a proper seat. The undulating form suggested by the name leaves the wearer in a reclining position, with their buttocks separated from the floor by just a few centimeters of foam padding.
The soft, streamlined form, shapely lines of "Tongue" bring to mind a modernist sculpture exuding refinement, and the impression is enhanced by a revolutionized structure without legs. Tongue longue chair follows a completely different logic, more sculptural than architectural. Using a novel technique of wrapping the inner metal frame with foam rubber and then skinning it with a stretchy fabric, he produced a chair that appeared not to be an assembly of parts, but rather a single, uniform form.
This gorgeous accent, which will add a touch of extravagance to any interior, has recently been re-upholstered in high-quality Pierre Frey wool from Paris, France, which offers excellent structural properties and a kind of softness for the utmost comfort.
This piece of art is a material reflection of Pierre's keynote which was the basis of his work
- considers himself a functionalist, he added "Two drops of poetry" to his work. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
