Set of Four Chairs Model "Miss Global." Philippe Starck for Kartell.

Each chair is molded in black polypropylene: the backrest, a high soft shell slightly curved, connects to a seat whose scalloped apron humorously evokes the crossbars of classic seats. Four tapered legs, discreetly divergent, complete a silhouette that is both familiar and resolutely contemporary, stackable and usable indoors as well as outdoors. Philippe Starck (born in 1949) has designed for the Italian publisher Kartell, a pioneer in quality plastic furniture, an entire family of seats reinterpreting the archetypes of the chair; the "Miss Global" model illustrates this ironic dialogue between tradition and industry that made the French creator successful in the 1990s. Condition report: Good overall condition. Healthy polypropylene, surfaces showing fine scratches and usage polishing inherent to the material. A practical and witty set, around a kitchen, dining room, or terrace table.
