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 fully removable, 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.
