Tongue Chair “Model F577” by Pierre Paulin
24.5” H x 34. 2 5 ”W x 35” D
Designer: Pierre Paulin
Manufacturer : Artifort
Date: 1960s
Materials : Original upholstery
The "Tongue" lounge chair, a first-edition piece by Pierre Paulin and produced in the 1960s by Artifort in the Netherlands, is notable for its distinctive design. Recently featured at Galerie Perrotina long side other iconic works by Paulin, the chair resembles a cushion more than a conventional seat. Its flowing, sculptural form invites users to recline close to the floor, thanks to its plush foam padding. With no traditional legs, the chair’s sleek silhouette reflects a modernist aesthetic. Paulin employed an innovative method by covering a metal frame with foam rubber and a stretch fabric, resulting in a seamless, unified design that feels more like a single entity than a constructed piece of furniture.
