When it comes to contemporary design that seamlessly blends comfort, style, and sculptural beauty, few pieces are as iconic as the Pacha Lounge Chair by legendary French designer Pierre Paulin. Originally conceived in 1975, the Pacha Chair marked a pivotal moment in design history. Today, GUBI has reintroduced this classic, expanding the collection to include the Pacha Ottoman, Pacha Sofa, and Pacha Outdoor line, making it easier than ever to bring its timeless appeal into every corner of your home, from the living room to the terrace.
A Revolution in Comfort and Form
The original Pacha Lounge Chair was designed to embrace a new, low-level way of living. Paulin eliminated traditional chair legs, allowing people to sit closer to the floor in a relaxed, informal way. He elevated the chair just slightly on its base, creating a plush, cloud-like form that supports the body in a natural, almost playful position. With carefully traced stitching and perfect proportions, the Pacha Chair delivers a harmonious balance between form and function.
What sets the GUBI Pacha Chair apart is its ability to remain both nostalgic and ahead of its time. The rounded, organic silhouette feels just as contemporary today as it did five decades ago, making it a versatile choice for interiors that range from minimalist to eclectic.
Expanding the Pacha Family
GUBI has carefully expanded the Pacha line to include complementary pieces that enhance the original design. The Pacha Ottoman pairs beautifully with the chair, offering additional comfort and a sculptural element in its own right. Meanwhile, the Pacha Sofa extends the concept into a multi-seat configuration—perfect for larger living spaces or open-concept interiors.
For those seeking to create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living, GUBI has introduced the Pacha Outdoor Collection. Retaining the signature curves and comfort of the original design, these pieces are specially engineered with weather-resistant materials, making it possible to match your indoor lounge setup with your patio or balcony without sacrificing style or comfort.
Customization and Cohesion
One of the standout features of the GUBI Pacha line is the wide range of customization options. From lush velvets to crisp linens, and from muted tones to bold colorways, each piece can be tailored to suit your space and taste. Whether you choose to pair the Pacha Lounge Chair with the Pacha Sofa in the same fabric, or mix and match textures for a more dynamic look, the collection allows for both harmony and personal expression. You can also choose whether or not you want armrests with your sofa or chair.
