Collection Story
Origin
The Mobilier National furnishes official buildings and embodies French design at the point of innovation. Pierre Paulin joined in 1971 with Elysée and Pumpkin, and Philippe Nigro followed in 2020 with Ligne Roset and Hémicycle. The name may recall the Assemblée Nationale, yet it was also chosen for its geometrical connotation.
Design Language
A straight seat with a classical, welcoming character. Two linked frames form the back, plywood panels carry the seat, and a matt black lacquered metal base supports each piece.
Key Pieces
The armchair (820 x 790 mm), the settee (1,450 x 790 mm), the conversation seat (1,450 x 900 mm) and the vis-à-vis seat (1,800 x 1,000 mm), all 780 mm high.
