Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Pacha collection and when?

The Pacha collection was designed by Pierre Paulin, the celebrated French designer known for his organic, body-conscious forms. It was originally created in the 1970s and has since been reissued by GUBI, which holds the rights to a significant portion of Paulin's catalogue.

Is the Pacha Ottoman suitable for fully exposed outdoor use?

The Pacha Outdoor Ottoman is engineered for exterior environments, with materials and construction selected for weather resistance. For prolonged exposure to direct sun and rain, some protective measures are still advisable to preserve upholstery and finish over time.

Can the Pacha Outdoor Ottoman be used independently, or only with the lounge chair?

It functions equally well as a standalone seat or as a companion piece to the Pacha lounge chair. Its proportions and form language are self-contained enough to hold their own in a composition without the chair present.

What upholstery options are available for the outdoor version?

Upholstery specifications for the outdoor version are typically configured through a design expert, as available fabrics are curated for outdoor performance. The specific options can vary depending on the production period and regional availability.

How does GUBI's reissue relate to Pierre Paulin's original design?

GUBI works closely with the Pierre Paulin estate to ensure that reissued pieces remain faithful to the original proportions and design intent. The collaboration is part of GUBI's broader commitment to preserving significant works of twentieth-century design with integrity.
