PIERRE PAULIN: Pop Art furniture design!

I decided to focus my designer discovery assignment on Pop Art design of the 1960s. So here is the first I found interesting:

10 FACTS about Pierre Paulin:
1. He is from France!
2. His furniture pieces are done through "twisting foam-upholstered steel frames into sensuous sculptural seating."
3. Part of the inflatable, architecture movement, very famous in Paris.
4. Sold one of his chairs for $5000 at an auction in 1998.
5. Creates abstract chairs, like his "Tongue" or "The Mushroom", to look ergonomic. Always uses bright fabrics like magenta, green, pumpkin, etc.
6. His furniture is based on different themes since he basically creates them like a sculpture.
7. His pieces all resemble a variety of shapes and angles, expecially in his tables.
8. The design company, Artifort, gave his furniture light to social revolutions through the every day styles of life.
9. Furniture is built in units so they can be linked together.
10. Paulin's 1968 exhibit, ABCD, of seating arrangements was based on pop art, like Lichtenstein, Warhol, etc. The fabric over the seats were created with that in mind.
