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 […]
A chair that incorporates the rounded 50’s style, however, ergonomically correct and more suitable for outdoor use. This is accomplished through the side slots, so fundamental to the flow of rainwater and to its stackability. Soft egg offers an organic image that can melt, so amazingly, with the organic unity of nature.
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.
Successful completion to the generous shapes of the famous Lord Yo armchair, Lord Yi table is surprising for its simplicity and the clear composition of the parties, deliberately signaled in his tripartite division of base, shaft and top.
In a table, oval means perfect: no edge, no head of the table, no diner and, above all, a form expanded in space. Antonia Astori balance then the top elegant simplicity with a sculptural base made of a malleable as contemporary material.
Antonia Astori calls ‘memory furniture’ those pieces which tell something about people attention to indoor living. An attention expressed both by the recovery of disappeared archetypes, eg. canopy bed, and in precious materials manufacturing, eg. pleached roped steel headboard.
The Tokyo-Pop collection marks, in 2002, the debut on the international scene by Tokujin Yoshioka, now considered one of the masters of contemporary design. The sofa, the armchair and especially the chaise longue and the stool, forget the banality of rotational molding to become sculptures. Unforgettable and unusual shapes.
