Designed by Philippe Starck
There are objects that are universally recognized as icons. The Costes armchair, which in 1984 marked the beginning of the collaboration between Philippe Starck and Driade, and the consecration of the then-unknown designer in Italy, is certainly one such object. Designed for the now-defunct Parisian caf? of the same name, it owes its enduring success to the absoluteness of its form: an enveloping dark wood shell and three sharply angled legs.

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 […]
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.
A chair deliberately abstract in its composition and, for this reason, comfortable in unpredictable ways. Seemingly carved into a block, Toy speaks a language of sharp and broad plans that make it different from other molded polypropylene chairs. In this connotation Toy is unique even within the design corpus of Philippe Starck.
Many years ago, at its beginning, Lord Yo was simply a polypropylene easy chair with an aluminum structure, now it’s an icon. Recognized and recognizable anywhere and by anyone. It took Philippe Starck to carry out such an extraordinary stunt, built with soft curves and raised back, almost a throne, and slightly bent legs. Then […]
It is a timeless chair because it comes in a material – natural hide obtained by respecting all the properties that comprise its identity – and because the project underlying this chair has the strength to challenge time: the hide will inevitably move, its texture will change and its colour will alter but the chair […]
The Altea collection from Inclass by synonymous designer, Jorge Pensi, in the fields of contract seating, consists of comfortable chairs, with two backrest heights, that can be combined with different bases and structures to allow a broad range of use. Its formal identity stands out for its smooth embracing curves and pure lines, away from […]
The sectional sofa is the theme characterizing typological design since the 90s of last century. Ludovica and Roberto Palomba confront it, emphasizing the sense of suspension from the ground, thanks to a thin metal structure and developing, in the version with terminals, a great peninsula from the gracefully asymmetric shape.

Once upon a time, small, useful objects existed in homes. For smoking rather than sewing, for serving rather than displaying: they dotted the living spaces. Giuseppe Chigiotti, in designing ?Ping,? thinks back to those now-obscure times.
