Siège 577 dit "Langue"
1967
Emblematic of research at the time, the 577 series of stackable seats known as Langue adopts sinuous lines that invite us to rest on floor level.
French designer Pierre Paulin began to revolutionise seat design in 1958, building on his research into textile elasticity for Thonet, the furniture manufacturer, and later for Artifort. The seamless, monobloc and stretch jersey cover dresses the framework of the seats like a "swimsuit". This extremely comfortable model materialises a new, playful and ergonomic aesthetic developed by the designer.
