Pierre Paulin RDI
At an international furniture show organized by Kho Liang Ie, Pierre Paulin made a great impression with a contemporary shell lounge. Shortly after the show, he became a freelance designer for Artifort. This marked the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration. What makes Paulin's designs so distinctive is their striking sculptural shape, which earns the designer many prizes worldwide. His work remains timeless and progressive even today. This is not form for form's sake but applied design.
Artifort still includes many of Paulin's designs dating from the nineteen-sixties and seventies in its permanent collection. His work can be admired in museums throughout the world. Apart from furniture, he also designed interiors for the French Presidents Pompidou and Mitterrand in the Elysée Palace in Paris.
Pierre Paulin died in 2009 in a hospital in Montpellier, France. The French President Sarkozy honored him as one "...who made design an art". Pierre Paulin has been posthumously awarded the distinction of "Royal Designer for Industry" (RDI) by the British Royal Society of Arts (RSA).

Herman Miller's 3D Intelligent back material is a seating technology designed for the SAYL™ Chair. The 3-dimensional mesh-like suspension material is stretched from the Y-Tower at the back of the chair just as cables are stretched from the towers of a suspension bridge. The tension is greater in the transition areas, from the thoracic to the lumbar regions and between the lumbar area and sacrum. "Hinge points" allow these areas to flex and support the healthy, forward rotation of the pelvis. At the same time, less tension in other parts of the back encourages a full range of seated movement.
Y-Tower
Y-Tower is the primary support structure of Herman Miller's SAYL™ Chair. The Y-Tower retains tension, replacing the traditional frame of task chairs. It works like the towers from which a bridge is suspended and combines with a 3D Intelligent suspension material to provide frameless back support that hugs the user's back from resting through reclining, forward leaning and twisting motions.
