All of a sudden, it seems like everyone who's anyone has a Pierre Paulin Dune sofa. We've spotted the piece in the homes of Kim Kardashian, Flea, Travis Scott, Justin Bieber, and Frank Ocean, among others. Though these celebrities span industries and interior design styles, their mutual love for the otherworldly sofa highlights its transcendent properties.
So, what exactly is so alluring about this living room sofa? Interestingly, it has become a favorite among a-listers more than 50 years after its conception. The modular shape originated in 1970, created by the French furniture designer Pierre Paulin in collaboration with Herman Miller. However, it wasn't produced until 2014, when Paulin Paulin Paulin made it more widely available. Thus, its popularity can be attributed, at least in part, to its retro sensibility. As nostalgia in interior design has grown more popular, so have nods to eras past. We've been seeing '70s trends emerge across the interiors space, and this piece is no exception.
