Created by Philippe Starck for Kartell, the tables Viscount of Wood boast light lines and an ultra-natural composition. They match the chairs in the same range, and are part of a sustainable habitat where wood, in all its lightness, is the material of choice. The table Viscount of Wood features a visually light steel frame supporting a wooden top with rounded edges. To create this Kartell table, the focus was on the work of proportions, the quality of materials and production techniques. The result is an elegant, durable dining table.
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.
