Pacha Lounge Chair

The GUBI Pacha Lounge Chair, Pierre Paulin's revolutionary 1975 design, represents a pivotal moment in furniture history when post-war austerity gave way to joyful modernism. This groundbreaking piece pioneered the concept of low-level living, challenging traditional seating conventions by eliminating standard legs in favor of a floating, cloud-like form that hovers mere inches above the floor.

Paulin's genius reveals itself in the chair's masterful proportions and organic architecture. The curvaceous silhouette, carefully traced with inward-inclining stitching lines, creates an embracing sanctuary that seems to defy gravity. This sophisticated construction transforms a radical design concept into an elegantly resolved form that looks as contemporary today as it did during the height of French modernism.

The Pacha's sculptural presence belies its fundamental commitment to comfort. Each curve and contour has been meticulously engineered to support and cradle the body, creating an inviting cocoon for relaxation. When upholstered in premium materials like velvet or leather, the chair develops intentional wrinkles along its curved seams – a characteristic that adds to its sensual, lived-in appeal.

This GUBI reissue faithfully preserves Paulin's original vision while adapting to contemporary living spaces. Whether placed in residential interiors or sophisticated commercial environments, the Pacha Lounge Chair continues to epitomize the freedom and creativity of 1970s French design while remaining remarkably relevant to modern lifestyles.

For thicker materials such as leather and velvet, there will be some wrinkling along the curved seams of Pacha. This is intentional and inherent to the upholstery process.
