Big Globe Chair by Pierre Paulin for Artifort, 1960s

A mid-century design icon with an 80s heritage: the "Big Globe" lounge chair (model F422), designed by the legendary French designer Pierre Paulin for the premium Dutch manufacturer Artifort. While originally launched in the 1960s, this specific piece is a 1980s production. This timeless model is renowned for its exceptional comfort, featuring a beautifully contoured, organic shell that perfectly cradles the body. This version comes with a smooth-functioning metal swivel base. The chair has been reupholstered in the past with a unique, vibrant striped fabric that perfectly captures the playful and bold space-age aesthetic. While the upholstery has been gently used, it remains in very good condition. The foam is firm, the structure is solid, and the swivel mechanism works flawlessly. A stunning, eye-catching centerpiece for any high-end vintage interior or modern living space.
