This "Dr. Glob" chair, designed by Philippe Starck for the Italian manufacturer Kartell, embodies the postmodern aesthetic of the 1990s. Its bold design combines a molded polypropylene seat with a deliberately irregular black powder-coated tubular steel frame. Curved lines, the angular profile of the base, and the arcuate backrest give this piece a distinctive, sculptural silhouette. Made in Italy, this chair is one of Starck's iconic designs, known for pushing the boundaries of utilitarian furniture with humor and radicalism. The model is stamped under the seat: "Chair Dr. Glob by Starck for Kartell – Made in Italy." The overall condition is good, with visible signs of use: scratches on the seat, slight wear to the upholstery on the backrest, and micro-impacts on the frame, visible in the detail photos. Approximate dimensions: total height 74 cm, seat height 46 cm, width 51 cm, depth 49 cm.
