Pacha Module
Design by Pierre PaulinWhen the Pacha Collection was designed in 1975, it replaced the austerity of post-war design with a more organic approach, reflecting the changing design style of the time. A joyful modernist, Paulin’s low-slung pieces provided a new laid-back perspective on life and his forward-looking, eclectic and sculpturall approach to furniture design instantly caught the mood of the swinging 60’s.
In his earliest sketches, Pierre Paulin imagined sitting as a sensation, expressed through rounded forms that seem to float and hold the body with ease. From this idea came a new way of sitting: low, generous, and free from convention. Set within an alpine dreamscape, clouds circle gently, echoing the curves of Pacha. The form drifts between inside and out, lightly touching the ground. Its sculptural volumes feel naturally shaped by time.
