About the Item

A pair of armchairs with a distinctive mid-20th century design, model CM 194. This pair of chairs is an early piece designed by visionary designer Pierre Paulin for the French Thonet furniture company around 1958. This chair set features an ingenious ergonomic design with a supportive seat. Its shape is a precursor to Pauline's more commonly known mushroom, tongue and ribbon designs and is an excellent source of research. High back type is rare. The set of chairs has recently been restored and reupholstered in white felted wool fabric.
