4 cm. Like sitting on a cloud… The iconic Pacha sofa was designed in 1975 by
Pierre Paulin, one of the greatest representatives of French design. Paulin
designed some of the most famous chairs in contemporary design, exhibited in the
most prestigious museums around the world. The Pacha sofa is characteristic of
the revolutionary style that Paulin initiated in the late 1950s. This low foam
seat with its plump shapes is a perfect example of the change in design at the
time, moving away from post-war austerity towards a less rigid, more celebratory
and relaxed aesthetic. As with all his work, Pacha's starting point for the
chair is comfort. The curved, whimsical, organic shapes of Pierre
Paulin’s sofa are designed to serve the body, offering both comfort and
conviviality. Paulin was able to give these round shapes real elegance by
finding the perfect proportions and slightly elevating the seat on a base. The
seam lines that give structure to the foam contribute to the elegance of the
silhouette. The cushions sculpt the silhouette of the sofa. This Pacha sofa
comes with two armrest cushions and two intermediate cushions (the cushions are
removable).The forerunner of a modern lifestyle, Pierre Paulin was one of the
first to design low seating, far from the unnatural position of traditional
chairs. Paulin's work fits perfectly with the rise of the intimate sphere and
the concern for bodily comfort of the sixties.Appearing just as contemporary as
when it was designed, the Pacha sofa is a timeless, functional piece that gives
character to any interior. This sofa is covered in a viscose and linen Chenille
fabric with a velvet look and feel. This fabric is soft, comfortable, sturdy and
durable.
