Know before you buy
The chair features a low-profile, sculptural design that offers a supportive, semi-reclined posture. While it is comfortable for lounging, its firm structure is better suited for relaxed conversation or reading rather than deep, sink-in relaxation.
Gabriel Atlantic is a durable, polyester-based fabric known for its consistent texture and practical maintenance. Kvadrat Tonus is a high-quality wool-blend fabric that offers a softer, more tactile feel and a distinctively rich color depth.
Yes, its open, sculptural silhouette prevents it from feeling visually heavy, making it an excellent choice for smaller rooms. However, because of its unique shape, it requires a bit of clearance around it to fully appreciate the design from all angles.
No, the chair arrives fully assembled. It is a solid, one-piece construction designed by Pierre Paulin to maintain its structural integrity and iconic form right out of the box.
Regular maintenance involves light vacuuming with an upholstery attachment to remove dust. For specific spills, refer to the care guidelines provided for your chosen fabric grade, as polyester and wool blends require different cleaning approaches.
