Pierre Paulin (1927-2009) was a French furniture designer, influenced by the Scandinavian aesthetic, as well as by American prefabrication design. Important is his background in sculpting and stone carving which is the reason why his designs are often opulent and expressive. In 1954 he started a collaboration with Thonet. From 1958 onwards he started to work with Artifort who up to this date produce many of his designs.
