Philippe Starck offers us a new and personal interpretation of a traditional type of home furnishing: a chair in which the minimalist beech wood structure is coupled with a metal shell with soft, organic lines.
Steel reveals unexpected expressive possibilities in the hands of the designer: the seat becomes a sculptural element and moulds itself to the user's body with its sophisticated ergonomics.
The comfortable backrest extends into two small armrests, distinctive details of Starck's design language.
Four solid beech wood elements connected by two minimal metal crowns are the simple components that make up the elegant coat hanger designed by Philippe Starck for the Poêle Collection. Precise, minimalist design, the lines of which retain the lightness of metal and the dynamism of wood in a fascinating formal dialogue.
The softly shaped coloured steel shell communicates with the minimalism of the beech wood structure. The natural beauty of beech wood, treated with a transparent finish, is enhanced by the combination with coloured metal.
Available in the colours white and black.
“The Poêle Chair started as a serious joke, with a sketch of a pan with legs and the great idea of adapting an existing high-technology to different purposes. The seat and back inspired by a frying pan, legs as handles, the Poêle Chair elegantly incarnates the most beautiful symptoms of human intelligence: humour and technology. Very much like my relationship to Alberto and Alessi.” Philippe Starck
