This armchair revisits the rounded shapes typical of 50s style, but Starck makes them ergonomically correct and even suitable for outdoor use. This is possible thanks to side empty loops , essential for rain downflow and stackability. “Soft Egg” presents an organic image which can amazingly melt with nature.
PHILIPPE STARCK is an internationally acclaimed French creator, designer and architect. His profound comprehension of contemporary mutations, his determination to change the world, his anticipatory concern for environmental implications, his love of ideas, his desire to defend the intelligence of usefulness and the usefulness of intelligence have accompanied one iconic creation after the other.
From everyday products such as furniture and lemon squeezers to revolutionary mega-yachts, individual windmills, electric bikes or hotels and restaurants that aspire to be wondrous, stimulating and intensely vibrant places. This untiring and rebellious citizen of the world, who considers sharing his ethical and subversive vision of a fairer planet as a duty, creates unconventional places and objects whose purpose is to be “good” before being beautiful.
Philippe Starck and his wife, Jasmine, mostly live on an airplane or in “middles of nowhere”.
