Ribbon Chair, Grey Fabric

Designed in 1966 by Pierre Paulin for Artifort, the Ribbon Chair (model F582) is one of the most celebrated seats of the space-age era. A single continuous band of upholstery loops back on itself to form seat, back and arms together, and it rests on a lacquered pedestal base. Underneath, a tubular steel frame with horizontal springs is wrapped in moulded foam and covered with stretch fabric. Artifort pioneered this technique, and it let Paulin treat upholstery as pure sculpture.

The Ribbon Chair is held in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and remains a benchmark of 1960s design. This vintage example, produced by Artifort in the Netherlands in the 1960s, suits a living room, a reading corner or a hospitality lounge.
