High Low: a living room where iconic design meets bold creativity
The Tulip Table: a timeless icon of modernist design
At the heart of this eclectic living room, the high round Tulip Table by Eero Saarinen stands out with its fluid and elegant silhouette. A masterpiece from the Pedestal Collection, this table eliminates the visual clutter of multiple legs to highlight noble materials like marble or wood. The Tulip Table embodies the modernist aspiration for pure forms while offering a sculptural presence that adapts beautifully to both classic interiors and bold contemporary spaces.
The Plastic Side Chair DSW: accessible and iconic
Surrounding the majestic Tulip Table, the Eames Plastic Side Chair DSW by Vitra brings a note of lightness and conviviality. Designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1950, this chair pairs an ergonomic polypropylene shell with a cross base made of steel and wood, ensuring stability and minimalist comfort. Available in a wide range of colors, it complements the noble marble of the table, creating a subtle dialogue between classic elegance and contemporary accessibility.
The Pacha Lounge Chair: an invitation to creative relaxation
Set slightly apart, the Pacha Lounge Chair by Pierre Paulin and Gubi offers a transition to a more informal relaxation area. With its rounded shapes and Dedar Karakorum fabric with a soft tactile feel, this chair captures Paulin's revolutionary philosophy: furniture close to the ground, designed to encourage a freer, more relaxed lifestyle. In this living room, the Pacha Chair introduces an organic, welcoming dimension, balancing the graphic rigor of the other pieces with its voluptuous softness.
A dialogue between icons and modern living
This eclectic association built around the Tulip Table, the Eames Side Chairs and the Pacha Chair highlights the power of great design to transcend eras and styles. Eero Saarinen's modernist classicism meets the accessible spirit of the Eames, while Pierre Paulin's sensory approach brings soul and warmth to the ensemble. This setting proves that mixing 20th-century design icons can create unique, harmonious, and characterful living spaces.
