The Pumpkin swivel armchair, designed by Pierre Paulin for Ligne Roset, is a true icon of contemporary design. First presented in 1971 in the private apartments of French president Georges Pompidou at the Élysée Palace, the Pumpkin perfectly reflects the revolutionary approach introduced by the designer from the late 1950s onwards.
Inspired by the generous shape of a pumpkin, its organic silhouette envelops the user in a protective and comfortable shell. The soft, rounded volumes create a sculptural presence that is both inviting and visually striking.
In this swivel version, the Pumpkin gains additional functionality and freedom of movement. The rotating base allows the armchair to adapt naturally to the space, making it ideal for contemporary living rooms, lounge areas or reading corners.
Its refined upholstery options and distinctive shape reinforce the premium character of this timeless design piece. Elegant, playful and instantly recognizable, the Pumpkin swivel armchair remains a statement piece in modern interiors.
Available at Sisu, official Ligne Roset retailer in Brussels.
