Produced by Kartell, the renowned Ghost collection presents a new selection of stools created by Philippe Starck. Spotted at the 2012 Milan Furniture Fair, One More stool, with a round backrest, and One More Please stool, with a square backrest, are destined to become design icons in their own right. Explaining the choice of names for the stools, Philippe Starck simply and originally says: "If you want to sip a cocktail at the bar in peace and quiet, all you need is a comfortable tall stool with a back to lean against. Sometimes one drink is not enough - and you need "One more" and sometimes "One more please"". Easy to move and comfortable, resistant and lightweight thanks to their polycarbonate frames, these stools are perfect and can be used in your American-style kitchen or around a bar to show off their strong and charismatic personality, with a practical and festive design.
Born in Paris in 1949, Philippe Starck is one of today's most original and prolific designers. Philippe Starck has become a hallowed figure of international design. The chairs and armchairs by Philippe Starck embody iconic, bold and timeless design, blending innovation, comfort and elegance in every creation. A self-proclaimed "autodidact" after a spell at the Camondo school, he was already a company director even before he came of age. An inspired Jack-of-all-trades, he has no hesitation in revisiting the styles and icons of the past. While he regularly works in the world of luxury, he is also credited with democratising design. He has worked extensively with a wide range of industrial partners, particularly furniture manufacturers such as Cassina, Driade and Kartell. The Mademoiselle bridge combines an airy polycarbonate structure with a comfortable seat in polyurethane upholstered in fabrics emblematic of various Italian designers (Missoni, D&G and Valentino). He won major prizes such as the Grand Prix National de la Création industrielle and the Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects. Philippe Starck describes himself as "a Japanese architect, an American set designer, a German industrial designer, a French art director and an Italian furniture designer". He also works with lighting and tableware manufacturers such as Baccarat and Flos on the KTribe collection.
