Product Details

Product Description

One of the most well-known designs in the world is the Mushroom armchair. Designer Pierre Paulin made a name for himself by creating this unique armchair with its original shape, vibrant colors, and groundbreaking manufacturing technique for its time. The inspiration for the Mushroom came to Paulin while observing women in their swimsuits, desiring to achieve the same curves and elasticity in a seat. The stunning curves and seamless one-piece elastic fabric are a testament to this source of inspiration. Back in 1958, Paulin began researching stretch fabric covers and partnered with Artifort's development division to create the revolutionary one-piece stretch cover construction method, displacing any upholsterers who were still using the traditional nail-and-hammer method. This new construction technique sparked innovative aesthetics and transformed how the world viewed design in terms of form, materials, and textiles, with the Mushroom design as evidence. Currently, the chair is a permanent fixture in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) in New York. The armchair's rounded contours, comfy padding, and lively colors blend seamlessly together to produce an original and fashionable look. The iconic armchair was initially known as the F562 and has been relaunched as the Mushroom. It's plush, spacious, welcoming, and supremely comfortable, making it an attention-grabbing fauteuil that tempts you to recline and unwind in its embrace. The base is a black multiplex floor plate with five white plastic gliders, which can be changed to metal or felt gliders if desired. The Frame comprises a steel insert frame covered in molded foam, which is Grade AA Fabric to ensure optimal quality. Overall, the Mushroom is a beautiful piece of furniture that is highly sought after.
