Pierre PAULIN (1927-2009)

In 2007, Pierre PAULIN celebrated his 80th birthday and 60 years of collaboration with Artifort. He also had a solo exhibition of about 100 pieces brought together under the title « Pierre Paulin: Superdesigner » (Villa Noailles, France). In 2008, the exhibition went to Belgium while two other events highlighted his work in Paris: he was nominated for the « Creator of the Year » award at the Furniture Fair (January 20) and an exhibition entitled Le design au pouvoir (design at the service of government) focused on his forty year collaboration with the « Mobilier national » (French institution for the interior design) at the Galerie des Gobelins, 2 February 2008 to 27 July 2008.
