Pierre Paulin 1927-2009


Admirable quote from an elegant, modest designer whom called himself un marginal or an outsider.
"It’s extremely dangerous to give too much importance and status to people who are only doing their job. Working for the enjoyment of the greatest number is very gratifying, much more so than any official honour.”
Paulin's iconic chairs often resembled tulips, tongues and mushrooms - how fantastique!
