Under the title ‘Articulated Floors’.
Pierre Paulin‘s visionary legacy is revisited through a new perspective led by Paulin, Paulin, Paulin—the studio run by the designer’s family—at Design Miami.Paris, reviving and amplifying the experimental concept La Déclive (1966) and taking it to a monumental scale that is utterly innovative.
La Declive was, at the time, a true revolution: a piece that proposed the floor as furniture, a habitable typography that challenged the classic notion of seating. Formed by a structure of padded and articulated bars, its design allowed for infinite configurations, adapting fluidly to the body and the space. With it, Paulin proposed a gesture of liberation, eliminating traditional furniture in favour of a changing floor with a life of its own.
In its new version, the project exhibited in Paris takes this intention to another dimension, in a kind of conceptual mutation. Visitors walk, rest and glide over a surface that is no longer furniture or sculpture, but a sensory territory that reimagines the coexistence of form and use.
The installation is completed with a performance inspired by John Cage‘s EXTENDED LULLABY (1994), where silence, time and movement intertwine with the materiality of space.
