about this product

The Elysée shelving system by Pierre Paulin for Magis is a modular bookcase inspired by a shelving concept Paulin originally developed in 1971 for the Élysée Palace. Magis later brought it into production in 2009, turning it into a sculptural storage system that can be stacked, joined, and even used as a room divider. It’s known for its refined, architectural look and its connection to Paulin’s presidential interiors.

Pierre Paulin

Born in Paris in 1927, Paulin made his début in the 50's. Known for his designs and installations (TV, Thonet, Bertrand Faure, Disderot, Artifort), he brought modernity to the Elysée Palace for President Pompidou in 1971. He designed all the furniture for the official office of François Mitterrand, and renovated the dining room for Jacques Chirac. At the same time, he founded ADSA with two associates, working on industrial projects (Calor, Allibert, Stamp) and brand image (Air France) as well as fitting-out railway stations (Gare de Lyon, Gare de Versailles Rive Gauche).
