eBay watch: A Pair of 1970s Artifort Groovy Chairs by Pierre Paulin

No, 'groovy' isn't our description, these actually go by the name of Artifort Groovy Chairs, a 1973 design by Pierre Paulin.

The chairs are still being made, priced at £1,309 each online (we've just checked – and that's in the sale), although that's obviously for brand new versions. These aren't that. According to the seller, the pair on offer here are in 'good condition' but suffer from 'some discolouring/fading to the fabric'.

So not perfect, but structurally sound and design classics. The pair is available online for a 'buy it now' of £575 or you can make an offer.

eBay watch: 1960s Pierre Paulin Mushroom Chair

Apologies for the picture quality above, but that's actually part of the story with this Pierre Paulin Mushroom Chair.

Artifort reissued this 1960 classic a few years back, but even with the reissue, you'll be looking at well in excess of £1,500 for a licensed version. The one above is such a chair, bought three years ago in a 'dark pink wool tonus bute fabric' for £1,800 and in 'immaculate condition'.

So why no bids with two days to go? We suspect because the images are so poor on the listing. £99 is the starting price, although there's a reserve, so we've no idea if you'll bag a real bargain or not. You can always try.
