In 2020, it is to the famous French designer, Pierre Paulin, that an exhibition will be dedicated from January 31 to February 6 in our Parisian gallery.
Nearly 40 pieces of furniture, lights and models will be presented, including iconic models, designed between the 1970s and 2000s by Pierre Paulin, such as the Elysée furniture, the U modular libraries, the Déclive, the Tapis-Siège or the Ensemble Dune. For a week, the exhibition, curated by Paulin, Paulin, Paulin, will retrace the work of this designer with an exceptional career.
Alice and Benjamin Paulin: “With Paulin, Paulin, Paulin, what we love is telling a story. We have a family and passionate bond with the work of Pierre Paulin and our driving force is to bring it to life through very specific projects like this exhibition which we are happy to stage at Sotheby’s“.
