The 261 series is composed of elements of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or more seats. It was created originally for hotels, based on the eggbox model in order to provide side-by-side sociability. This sofa is mounted on casters and existed in single-coloured, two-coloured and three-coloured versions. It is made of three strips of foam mounted on a steel base.

wood + latex foam

Manufactured by Artifort in 1963.
It is one of the first models that Pierre Paulin made for Artifort. This model, created in 1959, uses the new techniques for the upholstery in Pirelli foam - the gomma piuma Pirelli - with prefabricated covers attached by a pneumatic staples. The wooden shell had to be manufactured using a huge apple press found in an old brewery that Artifort purchased. The shell, in moulded laminated wood, pivots on a foot in the form of a tulip.
