Sitting in the Clouds
The first sketches that French designer 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, which pioneered low-level living and a new way to sit when it was launched in 1975. Without the constraint of legs, it attested to the comfort and coziness of low-level living, capturing the spirit of the decade.
