"A chair should be more than simply functional. It should be friendly, fun and colorful." -Pierre Paulin
Designed in 1960, the Orange Slice is a timeless icon that looks as fresh and inspired today as it did when it was first created. Anyone who sees several Slice chairs together cannot fail to be touched by the playfulness fo the composition. From different visual angles, the Orange Slice shows several stages of 'curl up'. In fact, the chair seems to change shape every time you look at it.

Pierre Paulin(France stylist) Pierre Paulin was elected on "2008 MEUBLE PARIS"
French designer Pierre Paulin，famed for his unusually shaped chairs.He was a well-known figure in the world of design for over half a century designing seats shaped like mushrooms and tongues, in a range of bright colours,for which he received much recognition. His designs have now found their way into major museums across the world such as the new york's museum of modern art,the museum of decorative arts in paris and london's victoria and albert museum.
The foundations of Artifort were laid by Jules Wagemans. In 1890, he set up business as an upholsterer in Maastricht. His son, Henricus Wagemans, expanded the company into a furniture factory, which had a showroom in Amsterdam by the end of the 1930’s and was already well known nationally. The economic recession of the nineteen thirties forced H. Wagemans & Van Tuinen, as the furniture company was then known, to create a distinctive profile. The emphasis came to lie on functionality, comfort, and quality combined with aesthetically pleasing design and an innovative use of materials. The new brand name became Artifort, derived from the Latin word 'ars' meaning “art or knowledge”, and 'fortis' meaning “strong or powerful.”
