Description

Original Groovy Chair (F598) lounge chair, designed by Pierre Paulin for Artifort in the 1970s. The model is one of the best-known examples of the era’s organic design language; with its sculptural appearance and exceptional seating comfort, it has become an iconic work of 20th-century design.

The armchair’s body, shaped as a single, continuous curve, harmoniously combines ergonomic design with a distinctive appearance. The wool upholstery is soft to the touch, while the concealed aluminum frame ensures stability without disrupting the furniture’s clean lines. The light beige color blends effortlessly into both modern and vintage interiors.

Pierre Paulin’s furniture is now among the most sought-after pieces of 20th-century design, and original Artifort-manufactured pieces are becoming increasingly rare on the market. The Groovy Chair is both an outstanding collector’s item and a distinctive piece of seating furniture that, as a standalone design object, can serve as a defining element in any interior.
