content as follows: One of the mythical figures of French design, Pierre Paulin became famous for designing President Georges Pompidou's apartment in the Elysee Palace and furniture for the Louvre. Championing "integrated design", he created a new relationship with interior architecture. His Mushroom, Tongue, Ribbon, Tulip, and Orange Slice chairs - all made of foam covered with colored jersey - offer a range of shapes that are rigorous yet organic, functional yet voluptuous. Paulin's designs perfectly symbolize the sixties and seventies and foreshadow the evolution of design. They have become cult objects, embedded in our collective unconscious.
