This set of six stackable Boston dining chairs, designed by Pierre Paulin for Henry Massonnet in 1988, exemplifies the monolithic, integrated design language of the 1980s. Each chair is crafted from molded high-gloss plastic in a deep, cool-toned black, with select pieces featuring geometric red and white inserts on the backrests—a subtle homage to Piet Mondrian’s abstract compositions. The one-piece construction, free of visible joints, reinforces the postmodern sensibility. Wide, angular armrests and gently flared legs create a distinctive geometric silhouette, while rectilinear cutouts on the backrests and armrests bring rhythm and lightness to the design. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, the chairs are fully stackable for convenient storage. The set remains in good condition, displaying signs of use such as scratches and minor scuffs consistent with age, yet retains structural integrity with no evidence of major repair or restoration. These chairs narrate the story of the 1980s, a decade in which French design blended playful color with formal rigor. Their silhouette echoes echoes of De Stijl and Mackintosh’s geometric order, yet Paulin’s use of plastic captures the freedom and optimism of the postmodern era. The glossy surface reflects
