Artifort “F545 Big Tulip” Armchair – Pierre Paulin (1960s)

The iconic “Big Tulip” F545 armchair, designed by Pierre Paulin in the 1960s for the Dutch brand Artifort, is a true classic of Mid-Century Modern design. This lounge chair is recognizable by its organic, flower-shaped form and generous seating comfort. The armchair rests on a swivel metal star base and is upholstered in a high-quality cream-colored fabric, which emphasizes the sculptural silhouette. The high back and inviting armrests make it a favorite piece for both living rooms and design collections.
