Description
|
|
|
|
One of the legends of French design, Pierre Paulin became famous for designing President Georges Pompidou's apartment in the Elysée Palace and furniture for the Louvre. A proponent of "integrated design," he offered a series of organic, voluptuously sculpted chairs in the 1960s and 70s—Mushroom, Tongue, Ribbon, Tulip, and Orange Slice—that have since become cult objects, and are seen here in architectural and promotional photos. This is one of a series of compact monographs that present visual surveys of a specific cultural phenomenon or personality captured in photographs. Following a concise introductory essay, each presents dozens of large, uncaptioned color and black and white plates—some filling both pages, 12 x 8 1/2 inches—which are identified in a thumbnail index. Most titles in the series include a chronology or bibliography.
