Pacha Lounge Chair w/ Armrests

The GUBI Pacha Lounge Chair with Armrests realizes Pierre Paulin's visionary concept of "sitting on clouds" while adding supportive elements that enhance both function and comfort. This sophisticated variation of the iconic 1975 design—once ahead of its time and now perfectly aligned with contemporary sensibilities—preserves the revolutionary essence of Paulin's work while offering additional ergonomic benefits.

The addition of gracefully integrated armrests transforms the Pacha's floating, cloud-like form into an even more complete sanctuary. These sculptural extensions emerge organically from the main body, providing gentle support for extended relaxation without compromising the chair's radical low-level living concept that challenged traditional seating conventions by eliminating standard legs.

Paulin's genius reveals itself in the chair's masterful proportions and organic architecture. The curvaceous, whimsical silhouette, carefully traced with inward-inclining stitching lines, creates an embracing experience that seems to defy gravity. This sophisticated construction transforms a radical design concept into an elegantly resolved form that looks as contemporary today as it did during the height of French modernism.

Part of GUBI's thoughtfully reissued Pacha Collection, this armrest version can be customized in an extensive array of fabrics and materials. The distinctive silhouette confidently carries bold colors and tactile expressions, allowing for personalization while maintaining the design's iconic character. When upholstered in premium materials like velvet or leather, the chair develops intentional wrinkles along its curved seams—a characteristic that adds to its sensual, lived-in appeal.

Whether placed as a standalone statement piece or combined with other Pacha modules to create endless seating possibilities, this evolved version continues to epitomize the freedom and creativity of 1970s French design. The Pacha with Armrests offers a perfect balance of historical significance and practical functionality, creating an inviting cocoon for today's relaxation needs across both residential interiors and sophisticated commercial environments.

For thicker materials such as leather and velvet, there will be some wrinkling along the curved seams of Pacha. This is intentional and inherent to the upholstery process.
