Pumpkin Armchair by Ligne Roset

For the very first time, Pierre Paulin's 1971 design for seating for the private apartments of Claude & Georges Pompidou at the Elysée Palace is being put into large-scale production. Pumpkin is characteristic of Paulin's revolutionary style, as initiated at the end of the 1950's, and as its name suggests is evocative of a giant pumpkin, welcoming the user with its protectively voluptuous - and voluptuously protective - shell. Resisting its appeal is an impossibility! Covers are being zipped in place at the junction of seat and back, and velcroed to the thermoformed base. Cover quilted with 100 g/m2 polyester on the seat/back, and polyether foam on the exterior of the mid-section. A monocolour model, which may be made up in either fabric or hide. Coloured wools chime perfectly with the spirit of Pumpkin.
