Lot 310
stretch jersey fabric over foam and metal frame74cm high, 228cm wide, 66cm deep (29in high, 89.5in wide, 26in deep)Footnote: "At Artifort, I started using new foam and rubber from Italy and a light metallic frame, combined with "stretch" material. Those new, rounder, more comfortable shapes were such a success that they're still being copied today. I have always considered design to be a mix of invention and industrial innovation." (Pierre Paulin) Renowned as a visionary and one of the great French 20th-century designers, Pierre Paulin (1927-2009) was revered for his modernist vision and chic style. His forward-looking furniture was embodied by simplicity, durability and functionality that had been inspired by the work of Charles and Ray Eames, Scandinavian furniture and the Japanese aesthetic. Somewhere between the organic and naturalistic, the flowing lines, surreal forms and use of rich colours and fabrics fostered a new space-age style that made him a firm favourite with the rich and famous, including two French presidents who commissioned him to decorate areas of the Élysée Palace in Paris.The Multimo sofa and armchairs were conceived in 1969 at a critical point in Paulin’s oeuvre. He was by then working for the Dutch firm Artifort, in that year he won the Chicago design award, whilst his furniture designs had also been acquired for the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The Multimo series conveys the main characteristics which placed him at the forefront of 20th-century furniture design practice with their graphic colours, smooth sculptural curves and chic sensuality. This is a rare and outstanding example of the designer’s furniture that infrequently comes to the market due to the fact that it was only made in very small numbers.

A rare Madras scarf or Foulard believed to have been worn by Napoleon whilst on St Helena Decorated with fruit and foliage to the centre, framed by seven chevron bands adorned with flowers and stylised foliage, embroidered with an N in brown thread, 48cm by 45.5cm,Footnotes:Provenance:Collection of Valérie Masuyer (1797-1878), lady-in-waiting to Queen Hortense, Napoleon's step-daughterThe Napoleonic Collection of the Prince's Palace of Monaco, Osenat, Fontainebleau, 16 November 2014, lot 81Exhibited:Waterloo Memorial Museum, 'Napoléon: de Waterloo à Sainte-Hélène, la naissance de la légende', 5 May to 17 October 2021Following the long-held practice of the Empress Josephine, Napoleon is known to have covered his head both day and night. Louis Constant Wairy, Napoleon's valet, remarks in his memoirs of the Empress that her '...hair was strong, beautiful, long and silky; its light chestnut hue blended admirably with that of her skin, dazzling with finesse and freshness. At the beginning of his supreme power, the empress still liked to do her hair in the morning with a red madras that gave her the look of Creole, the hottest to have' (Mémoires de Constant, premier valet de chambre de l'empereur, sur la vie privée de Napoléon, sa famille et sa cour, 1830). Doctor Barry O'Meara, Napoleon's doctor on St. Helena, noted during his visit on 5th March 1817: 'On my return from Longwood, I found Napoleon in very different spirits from yesterday. He was reclining on his sofa, in a very positive attitude, his head resting upon one of his hands, and apparently melancholy. His morning gown was on, a Madras round his head and his beard unshaved' (Barry O'Meara, Napoleon in Exile or A Voice from St. Helena, 1822). General Montholon, remarked on 13 April 1821 during the Emperor's illness '...the night was not so good, possibly because of the heavy sweating. Seven times I changed the Emperor, and each time flanelle and linen were soaked, until the madras of which he surrounds his head. These linen changes are very difficult to do without making him impatient, because he does not want to; no light in his room, there is only one candle in the next room, and that's the weakest glow of this light that I need, not to give it, but to give it everything it needs, even tie the madras on his head.'This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
