AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Major reference work, out of print with the publisher. French version. New and sealed.
ISBN 978‑2‑915639‑85‑8
Edition Archibooks (in co-production with Grand‑Hornu Images) on the occasion of a major retrospective at Grand‑Hornu, Belgium.
Author
Timo de Rijk is the current director of the Design Museum Den Bosch, in ’s‑Hertogenbosch (Netherlands).
More than a simple “catalogue raisonné”, this is an analytical monograph that cross‑references biography, production contexts, and a study of the projects.
Scope covered: furniture, industrial design, graphic design, interior architecture, art direction, scenography, etc.
Iconography: more than 500 illustrations, including drawings and plans from Paulin’s archives, some pieces never published before.
Format: 288 pages
30.8 × 24 cm
Hardcover with dust jacket.
Primary reference:
The book allows identifying iconic models (Tongue, Ribbon/Ruban, Mushroom, Orange Slice, Oyster, etc.) and understanding their genesis, variants and production contexts.
Plans, drawings and archival photos help pinpoint construction details, proportions, materials, finishes, making object authentication easier.
The sections on collaborations (notably Artifort) and institutional commissions (Élysée, Louvre, etc.) provide keys to dating, contextualizing and valuing the pieces.
Designer
Pierre Paulin (1927–2009) is one of the greatest French designers of the 20th century.
Known for his chairs with organic, colorful forms, he revolutionized comfort by using generous foams clad in patented stretch jersey.
He worked with publishers such as Artifort and Alpha International, and made history by furnishing Georges Pompidou’s private apartments at the Élysée (1971) and then the office of François Mitterrand (1984). A sign of institutional recognition.
His iconic models (Mushroom, Ribbon, Tongue, Globe, Élysée furniture) are today collected worldwide and regularly exhibited (Gobelins, Centre Pompidou, Musée Fabre).
