Pair of Oyster armchairs by Pierre Paulin for Artifort, 1960s

Here is a rare opportunity to acquire a pair of iconic "Oyster" armchairs, a masterpiece of French design by Pierre Paulin, produced by the prestigious Dutch house Artifort in the 1960s. The authenticity of these pieces is confirmed by the presence of the original Artifort label visible under the seat, ensuring undeniable provenance. The immediately recognizable silhouette of the Oyster captivates with its enveloping shell shape resembling an open oyster, offering generous comfort and a low seat characteristic of the lounge style of the sixties. The tubular chrome metal base, composed of four slender legs ending in black tips, gives the whole a lightness and timeless elegance. The plush upholstery is dressed in a speckled sage/kaki green fabric with decidedly contemporary tones, suggesting a careful reupholstery that will fit perfectly into a modern or vintage interior. The overall condition is very good, with a slight patina on the upper metal bar of the shell, a discreet testament to a beautiful life that does not affect the overall aesthetic. Dimensions per chair: Height 90 cm – Width 82 cm – Depth 92 cm. Total weight of the pair: 30 kg. Signed collectible pieces, a must-have for vintage design enthusiasts and exceptional furniture lovers.
