With the H.H.H. Mat chair, Kartell once again puts the undisputed queen of everyday furnishing in the spotlight: the chair. Designed by Philippe Starck, an emblematic figure of contemporary design, the H.H.H. chair has been a best-seller since its launch. Its success is based on the richness of its variations – from the Liberty model to the vegetable-tanned recycled leather version, through eco-responsible and ultra-shiny textures – which combine aesthetics, innovation and responsibility.
Today, this icon of furniture reinvents itself with a new matte finish. This finish sublimates the purity of the lines designed by Philippe Starck, while maintaining the expressive force of the colors. The matte finish softens the volumes, brings a discreet elegance and reinforces the timelessness of the design. The bright colors – strong signature of the collection – instill a contemporary energy and add a touch of character to any space. Each variant expresses a unique personality, making the H.H.H Mat collection particularly versatile. Whether it’s a minimalist interior or a more daring ambiance, the H.H.H Mat chair naturally takes center stage. Its assertive design, innovative finish and eco-friendly dimension make it much more than a simple seat: it is a piece of design in its own right, both functional and expressive. With the H.H.H Mat, Philippe Starck and Kartell sign a chair that combines form, material and emotion with elegance – a statement of sustainable and committed style.

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.
