Pacha Collection

The first sketches that Pierre Paulin (1927-2009) drew for what was

to become the Pacha Collection were simple pencil outlines that

resembled illustrative clouds. One of those sketches went on to

become the Pacha Lounge Chair, and the design was the result of

extensive research into the notion of comfort.

When the Pacha Collection was designed in 1975, it replaced the

austerity of post-war design with a more organic approach, reflecting

the changing design style of the time. Utilising new innovations in

bent plywood and foam technology, the generously curved forms of

the collection were conceived, first and foremost, to serve the human

body. Their rounded outlines and perfectly considered proportions

offer high levels of comfort.

The Pacha Collection today includes Pacha Lounge Chair with and

without armrest, the Pacha Ottoman as well as the Pacha Sofa,

which enable endless combinations to adapt to changing needs and

environments – just as Paulin originally intended. Now you can sit

upon a whole cloud formation.
