'CM190' LOW CHAIR DESIGNED BY PIERRE PAULIN FOR THONET, 1950s
Designed in the early 1950s, the CM 190 chair is an early work by Pierre Paulin that showcases his emerging interest in organic form, ergonomic comfort, and sculptural seating.
With its generous, enveloping silhouette and relaxed proportions, the chair foreshadows the expressive modern designs that would later define his career.
Rare and historically significant, the CM 190 represents a formative moment in Paulin's contribution to 20th-century design.
In original upholstery, this is a fine untouched example of this highly collectible piece.
Presents in very good vintage condition, slight tear in vinyl on side of seat, otherwise presents very well for its age.
