| Onze blijken van medeleven bij het overlijden van deze uitzonderlijke man van wie alle design, hoe vooruitstrevend ook, steeds een dienende, sociale functie behield. Die dienstbaarheid en de degelijkheid van zijn producten zorgen ervoor dat zij herontdekt en gekoesterd worden. Zoals Tubbax in België aan die andere betreurde sociale ontwerper, Willy Van der Meeren, een platform bood, zo komt Artifort de eer toe deze uitzonderlijke universele kunstenaar destijds bij de Belgische consument geïntrod |

| I, and the staff at Modernism magazine, wish to extend our condolences to Pierre Paulin's family and to his friends and colleagues at Artifort. His creativity and philosophical mind, his sense of humor and vast interest in the world will be missed. We will always appreciate his inventive and humanistic designs. Andrea Truppin |

| Wow... my heart just stopped a moment. The world has lost a great mind! Your designs always bring a smile on my face, when I enter my living room, they never lose their power to amaze and entice. Thank you for that and thank you for all your magnificent additions to the world of design. |

| au détour d'un travail je rencontre de temps en temps une image, un objet qui fait revivre Pierre Paulin et toujours dans mon esprit les repères qu'il a semé je m'efforce de les mériter chaque jour la tristesse cèdera un jour la place à la nostalgie et ce sera, comme le dirait un portugais, une grande tristesse heureuse (saudade) que de se souvenir d'une telle rencontre |

| I've had the pleasure to work with his beautiful sculptural designs, the pleasure to have known him, to talk with him about his thoughts and experience about designing products from the beginning of the sixties and also his opinion about the latest developments, and most of all his great stories about the real Artifort feeling. This feeling......I will not forget. I'm sure the world has lost a very special person, but we can be proud that this man has put a very important direction in the |

| Once you had met Pierre Paulin you would never forget him. His charism, his charme, but also his strong will. These characteristics came back in all his beautiful designs. Since I started working with Artifort in 1970 I have enjoyed the occasional encounters and specifically I remember the export meeting in Schijndel not too long ago when Pierre was invited to be present during the house-show, and Maia and himself spent the evening with the Artifort sales team. He then told me how much he e |

| When I think of Pierre Paulin I remember the taxi ride in 2008 we made together from the fair in Milano to his hotel in the city. Despite his age of 80 years at that time, he was a remarkable, handsome, energetic and artistic person who lived life to the fullest and he impressed me very much. I wish his wife, his children and grand children as well as his Artifort-fans much strength and also much pride. Emiel Barten |

| Plus d ‘une fois mes collègues m’ont racontée des anecdotes sur Pierre Paulin, ils m’ont fait curieuse pour cet homme remarquable. Malheureusement le temps ne m’était pas assez long pour lui rencontrer. Mais avec presque 82 ans je suis sûre qu’il avait non seulement suffissament du temps pour laisser le monde ses designs merveilleux, mais aussi pour laisser Maïa et sa famille un tas de beaux souvenirs. Du courage... |
