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.

Created to complement the homonymous chair, Toy table, lives, indeed, an independent life thanks to the elegance of its stem, strongly tapered. A detail which, combined with the soft lines of connection with the top and the base, gives the piece an intense classical connotation.
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.
