ribbon chair

i had the esteemed luxury last week of being able to sit in pierre paulin's "ribbon" chair, designed in 1966 (though the fabric wasn't quite so garish as this!), and normally the vast majority of fabulous designer chairs are particularly awkward and uncomfortable to sit in, with the final look of the finished piece being more important than the actual ergonomics of the chair. but "ribbon" was so comfortable i practically melted into it! (i was almost in tears when i found out the price though.) the replica is made by artifort, and distributed in oz by kezu.
will be adding this one to the chair collection when the time comes.
