Description

Anyone who sees several Orange Slice chairs grouped together cannot fail to be touched by the playfulness of the composition. From different visual angles, the Orange Slice shows several stages of ‘curl up’. In fact, the chair seems to change shape every time you look at it. The chair comprises two completely identical shells of pressed beech, covered with foam on a chromed metal frame.
Pierre Paulin (1927) made a considerable impression with a contemporary shell fauteuil, at an international furniture show organised by Kho Liang le. Shortly after the show, he became a freelance designer for Artifort. This marked the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration. What makes his designs so distinctive is their striking sculptural shape, which earned Paulin many prizes worldwide. His work remains timeless and progressive even today. This is not form for form’s sake but applied design. With comfort as the constant starting-point. Artifort still includes many of Paulin’s designs dating from the nineteen-sixties and seventies in its permanent collection. His work can be admired in museums throughout the world. Apart from furniture, he also designed interiors for the French presidents Pompidou and Mitterrand in the Elysée Palace in Paris. Pierre Paulin died on 13 June 2009 in a hospital in Montpellier (France). The French president Sarkozy honoured him as "the man who made design an art". In November 2009, Paulin was posthumously awarded the distinction of "Royal Designer for Industry" (RDI). Measurements; W: 840mm, D: 800mm, H: 800mm, SH: 430mm

Why choose refurbished?

One of the most important things we can do when it comes to helping the environment is to buy refurbished instead of new. Every product contains embodied carbon (the carbon emitted in producing it). Purchasing refurbished office furniture or IT equipment helps extend the products’ lifecycle and lower a business’ or individual’s overall carbon footprint.

All IT equipment has been securely wiped of data to the highest standards by our experts using specialist software certified by the National Cyber Security Centre.

All office equipment has been fully tested and brought back to life with new upholstery. Parts that remain include the arms, castors and base – which may show signs of wear but will not affect the functionality.
