Born in Paris in 1927, Paulin discovered a passion for design alongside his sculptor and automotive pioneer great-uncle, Georges Paulin. He started his career at the École Camondo and achieved success in 1954 with the launch of his first furniture collection, followed by collaborations with distinguished furniture houses Artifort and Thonet. In 1975, Paulin established the ADSA design agency with his wife, Maia Wodzislawska.

Designed in 1975 by Pierre Paulin for GUBI, the Pacha Lounge Chair combines sublime comfort with creative expression.

With the 1970s being a decade of spirited new approaches to design, Paulin designed Pacha without the constraints of legs, thereby attesting the comfort and cosiness of low-level living.

Pacha’s elegant, rounded form sits on either a swivel or static base and is the result of foam padding, finely stitched lines and a selection of multiple inviting fabrics, from Pierre Frey's Malou to Kvadrat's Reflex.
