Designed by Eugeni Quitllet
An armchair/character, with an organic outline, perhaps anthropomorphous, conceived with leather directly fixed on a fiberglass skeleton. A tribute, to the great Carlo Mollino and to the Danish design of the 50s, led by Starck with impeccable mastery. The frame is the result of a complex and skilful construction: a first outer shell made of Baydur is fixed on a steel core which is then attached on another Baydur shell and on a polyurethane foams layer. The armchair, then, is entirely covered in leather and hand-stitched. The unexpected comfort is given by its perfect ergonomics.

Neoz sofas, bed and day-bed emphasize the formal charateristics of the collection they belong to, by building a sort of living nest marked by the hem-stitched tissue whiteness, like past laundry, and the cushions’ softness. Large wheels, though, suggest it as an only termporary luxe.
Even a classical image, as a railed chair, in the hands of Philippe Starck acquires a particular connotation. In Pip-e, the sequence of horizontal elements, which create the seat and back definetly, takes on a strong chiaroscuro and goes, unexpectedly, to accompany the bending of the knees.
The cultured and omnivorous voracity of Philippe Starck faces, in Neoz collection, the poetry of solid wood and the traditional archetypes form is reviewed. The result is a timeless collection characterized by straight lines as well as by a strong image.
Frog tables are made from a single glass sheet curved and shaped with skillful technique. The purity of its design belies its exceptional strength for each setting and use, thanks to the use of a very thick bent glass.
If there is something that defines the Kotai table collection, it is precisely its soundness, as its own Japanese name denotes. Made of solid wood, its most distinctive feature is the bevel alongside its four edges and the cleavage dividing it into two identical halves and highlighting the unique possibilities of this noble material.
