In 1966 Pierre Guariche developed a series of designs around a single block seat with round and welcoming shapes. A seat with a swivelling high back. Inspired by the conquest of space and technical innovations, such as the use of expanded polyurethane, in the service of its ideas, the shapes of Jupiter became a reality. Less than a year passed between the submission of the drawing – 24th October 1966, and its presence in Meurop catalogue, a Belgian company of which he was the artistic director from 1960 to 1968. Its description in one line: “The ultimate luxury armchair”.
