Orange Slice armchair, red

Artifort's iconic Orange Slice armchair was published in 1960. In 1952, designer Pierre Paulin became acquainted with the technique of bending plywood, which became the basis of the well-known armchair. The chair was originally known as the F437 but soon got the nickname Orange Slice, as its two identical curved pieces resembled orange slices. The organic, cheerful shape of the Orange Slice armchair urge you to curl up and dwell in its gentle embrace.

Pierre Paulin

Artifort is a world-renowned design furniture manufacturer. Artifort's story began in 1890, when Jules Wagemans founded an upholstery company in Maastricht, in the Netherlands. In the 1920s, Wagemans' son Henricus Wagemans took over the family business, during which time he expanded the operations and Artifort began to produce furniture.

Since then, Artifort has employed many internationally renowned designers, such as Kho Liang Ie, Pierre Paulin and Geoffrey D. Harcourt, who have played an important role in shaping Artifort’s image and story into a well-known design brand. High-quality materials, innovative production techniques, skilled craftsmanship and timeless design are some of the key factors for the furniture manufactured by Artifort. In 1998, the furniture manufacturer Lande Group took Artifort under its wing and has continued to develop the company further.
