Artifort Orange Slice: designer vitamins for your interior

Sitting on orange wedges

The name 'Orange Slice' is a wink. Not the color (although it is also available in orange), but the shape. If you look closely, you will see that this armchair resembles two orange segments. The original name of the Orange Slice is F437, the footstool is known as the P437. The design consists of two identical upholstered shells that fold around the seating area. The seat rests on a base of chrome or powder-coated steel.

The Artifort orange slice chair is immensely popular, causing the chair to be copied in large numbers, or replicas. The real chair designed in 1960 for Artifort by Pierre Paulin has the identification feature F437. It consists of two completely identical shells (reminiscent of two orange slices) of pressed beech wood covered with molded foam, and has a chrome-plated metal tube base.

The reproductions are almost always indicated as such, and are inspired by Paulin. They have a stainless steel base, and the colors are more muted.

Designed by Pierre Paulin

If you poke around on our website more often, you will probably have come across the name Pierre Paulin. In addition to the Orange Slice, Paulin has also designed many other pieces of furniture for Artifort. Paulin made a great impression on Kho Liang le, Artifort's aesthetic advisor at the time, during an international furniture show. The show-stopping item? A bucket seat. And he has made a lot of them in the years at Artifort. One of our favorites is the F437 Orange Slice. Design vitamins for your interior!

The Artifort Orange Slice chair is a modern classic designed by Dutch designer Pierre Paulin in 1970. It is an iconic design and a timeless piece of furniture. The chair is characterised by its low, curved shape and bold, brightly coloured upholstery. Its comfortable and inviting design makes it a perfect addition to any contemporary living room or office space.

With your legs up watching television or rather actively catching up with friends or family in the seating area. What function you attach to the chair already largely determines what type of armchair you choose. It may sound logical that if you want to spend an evening chatting with friends, you don't want to be slumped over. The function you look for in your armchair therefore directly determines the desired seating comfort. Check out the range of Whoppah!
