Pacha Ottoman
Made by GUBI
Designed by Pierre Paulin
Pierre Paulin conceived the Pacha collection in 1975 as a quiet argument for softness, an embrace of the body over the rigidity of postwar modernism. The ottoman carries that same sensibility: a low, rounded form upholstered in continuous curves, raised on a considered base that keeps the profile close to the ground.
Paulin's work consistently prioritized human comfort over formal convention. His chairs and ottomans were designed to be lived in, not displayed. The Pacha Ottoman reflects that philosophy, its silhouette reading equally as a footrest companion to the Pacha Lounge Chair or as a freestanding sculptural presence in a room.
