ICFF 2019: Big Mushroom. Designer Pierre Paulin distinguished himself with this armchair in the original shape, bright colours and revolutionary manufacturing technique for the time. The idea for the Mushroom came to Pierre Paulin while he was watching women, shaped and sheathed in their swimming suits. He wanted the same thing for a seat. The inspiration can be found in the beautiful curves as well as in the seamless one-piece elastic fabric. Photo: ©Artifort

Artifort truly invested in its production facility in recent years. They believe in sustainability and in designer furniture that lasts for generations. The quality of their chairs and sofas is so exquisite, you can have them reupholstered ten or twenty years later. They also replace the seats and cushions with sustainable produced alternatives. It’s a total renovation. Once the chair has been reupholstered, it looks as new and ready to shine again in any room decor.
