Tongue Chair
Designed by
Pierre Paulin
The Tongue Chair (Model F577), designed by Pierre Paulin in 1967 for Artifort, is an iconic piece of mid-century modern design. Its fluid, sculptural silhouette, resembling a gently extended tongue, makes it both playful and elegant. Built on a tubular steel frame with foam padding and upholstered in stretch fabric, the chair combines bold organic form with ergonomic comfort. As one of Paulin’s most recognizable creations, it embodies his vision of furniture as functional art and remains a celebrated classic of 1960s design.

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).
