Designed by Philippe Starck
There are objects that are universally recognized as icons.

Oblique corners reminding of ancient obelisk shapes, creating an architectural play of light and shadow. Full volumes seem to float above the floor, on hidden base.

Named after the inventor Margarete Steiff from Germany who invented the Teddy bear. The designer wanted to design a cozy armchair and character by playing with softness and proportions. This armchair is a cozy hub. The refine metal base highlights a soft upholstery with its smooth shapes and an iconic and unique upholstered back leg […]
Kabu, curve in Japanese. With this name, I stress the conceptual process of the collection design. The light structure is dressed up with a technical fabric that becomes skin and wrap. The curvature generated as a result of the fabric tension on the structure highlights the desire for a lightweight, upholstered frame.
