PHILIPPE STARCK (Paris, 1949) for Disform. Miss Dorn" chair, 1982. Black canvas and steel. Presents some wear marks, mainly on the backrest. Measurements: 70 x 53 x 44 cm. Postmodern style chair, sensual shape and strong character. Its circular structure in black tubular steel wraps forming an arc around the cylindrical seat upholstered in black canvas. Philippe Starck designed this iconic chair in the early 1980s for the Catalan company Disform. Starck is the son of André Starck, an aeronautical engineer who has often inspired Philippe's work. He studied at the École Nissim de Camondo in Paris. While working for Adidas, Starck created his first industrial design company, Starck Product, which he later renamed Ubik, after the Philip K. Dick novel, and began working with manufacturers in Italy (Driade), Alessi, Kartell and internationally, including Drimmer in Austria, Vitra in Switzerland and Disform in Spain. In 1983, then French President François Mitterrand, on the recommendation of his Minister of Culture, Jack Lang, chose Starck to renovate the president's private apartments at the Elysée. The following year he designed the Café Costes. Starck's output expanded to include furniture, decoration, architecture, street furniture, industry (wind turbines, photo booths), sanitary ware, kitchens, floor and wall coverings, lighting, household appliances, office equipment such as staplers, utensils, tableware, clothing, accessories, toys, glassware, graphic design and publishing, food, and vehicles for land, sea, air and space.
