The history of the sofa loved by Frank Ocean and Kanye West The iconic Dune by Pierre Paulin

Those who follow Frank Ocean are well aware of the Long Beach artist's love for design objects. A passion that goes from the stage design for his live performances, as in the case of the speakers signed by Tom Sachs, to the privacy of the living room, as happened with the iconic Dune sofa by Pierre Paulin. Recognizable thanks to its design, the French designer's work is made up of four modules designed to join together to form a single, closed space similar to a mountainous expanse. In reality, the possibilities are many, capable of transforming Paulin's sofa into an object to be exhibited in your living room but also into a relaxing space in which to read or watch a film with friends. 

Retired to his home in the French Cévennes at the age of 66, Paulin's work seems to be experiencing a second youth thanks to the commitment of his family and fans, including Louis Vuitton who in 2014 had committed to creating 18 prototypes never produced designed by Paulin for Herman Miller in the early 1970s. If those ended up at Design Miami/, Paulin's iconic models can be yours for the right price: from €5000 to € 8000 for one of the Dune modules. The price to pay to put real works of art in your home.
