The design of the Moulin Chair dates from Pierre Paulin's early years and was developed on the Rue Jean Moulin. Formally in the collection of Thonet France, the 1954 design now resides in Artifort's permanent collection of iconic Paulin works. The simple, modest design with its slim metal frame and crisply upholstered elements works exceptionally well as a refined breakfast or occasional chair. The Moulin's clearly delineated, resolute structural form and practical nature predates the experimentation of Paulin's later, sculptural work of the 1960s and 1970s and represents a reference point in the evolution of his design career. It's the perfect Artifort addition for the Paulin aficionado.

Mention Artifort and Pierre Paulin immediately springs to mind. The brand and designer are inextricably linked. Their deep bond and collaborative history are legendary within the design world and each, undeniably, drove the other to greater heights of commercial success and critical acclaim. By the early 1960s Paulin's sculptural designs were so successful and sought after in the international market that Artifort's production facilities could barely keep up with demand. French presidents Pompidou and Mitterand commissioned Paulin to design interiors in the Elysee Palace in Paris, further amplifying his notoriety and significance as a visionary, multi-talented designer. Pierre Paulin continued to design and collaborate with Artifort until his death on June 13th, 2009 in Montpellier, France. In November, 2009 Paulin was posthumously awarded the prestigious title, "Royal Designer of Industry" by the Royal Society of the Encouragement of Arts, Manufacturers and Commerce. Today, Pierre Paulin designs are included in permanent collections of prestigious museums throughout the world.
