Chair Chick

 

Endless Possibilities

Leave it to Philippe Starck to decide that Mr. Impossible wasn't, well, impossible enough! He's done a riff on his own design for Kartell and created Super Impossible, which takes its shiny self very seriously (though the genius behind the design rarely does)! I don't know why it always happens, but shown white, black and lipstick red side-by-side, I go straight for the glam! Eugeni Quillet accompanied Starck on this design ride, which resulted in the joining of two laser-welded polycarbonate shells to form this chic chair. It sells for $448 (that's all?). 

To veer off subject for just a moment, I enjoyed an al fresco breakfast with Demetrio Apolloni, the general manager of Kartell, when he was in town for ICFF. He was excited that the storied company would be expanding its fashion accessories line in the future. "Why do people have to draw strong distinctions between design and fashion?" he queried. "There is a strong relationship between the two that Kartell has always embraced." Look for kicky new products to spring from this manufacturer's long list of collaborations with some of the world's iconic designers very soon!
