Item Description
Once more, Philippe Starck’s creative genius and Kartell’s technology bring to life a revolutionary and fascinating design: La Bohéme, a collection of stools in precious vase shapes. There are two designs: La Bohéme 2 and La Bohéme 3. The two shapes reflect classic Greek vase styles, one an elongated Amphora with a wide base and the other a stout Stamnos shape. Each design highlights a different aspect of the case as an object, in terms of the delicate and precious appearance and the stable and functional seat. Only exclusive technology, used for the first time in the design sector by Kartell, has allowed the creation of a collection of stools which are completely transparent and whose shape holds remarkable aesthetic impact. La Bohéme stools suit any place, in the living room and in the garden, on the balcony and in the kitchen. The elegance of the design, colors and material set these vases apart, ideal for creative and original decoration and for personalizing any setting.
Starck’s career started to climb in earnest in 1982 when he designed the interior for the private apartments of the French President. Starck has worked independently as an interior designer and as a product designer since 1975. Most notably, in 2002, he created a number of relatively inexpensive product designs for the large American retailer Target Stores.
His most recent notable designs include an optical mouse for Microsoft, yachts, and even new packaging for a beer company. He was commissioned to design the Virgin Galactic “spaceport” in New Mexico (Foster and Partners are its architects). He made the exhibit Democratic Ecology with Pramac. In autumn 2009 Starck appeared in a BBC Two programme ‘Design for Life’ in which 12 aspiring design students competed to gain a six month placement with Starck’s Paris based company.
