"Monseigneur" Quilted Leather Armchair Designed by Philippe Starck for Driade

About the Item

"Monseigneur" is an iconic armchair, designed by Philippe Starck and manufactured by Driade, featuring a padded quilted leather structure, with stainless cast steel front legs and armrests and ebonized wooden rear legs. Indoor use only. DIMENSIONS: D. 26.3", W. 24.4", H. 32.2", Seat H. 16.1", Armrest H. 23.6" Philippe Starck revisits design history using irony as a key project element. After celebrating some queens and princesses, now it's time to pay homage to a male character thanks to Monseigneur collection: is it for a king or a cardinal? The result is a kind of "male design", straight, aggressive, made of precious woods, pure metals and quilted leather. PHILIPPE STARCK is an internationally acclaimed French creator, designer and architect. His profound comprehension of contemporary mutations, his determination to change the world, his anticipatory concern for environmental implications, his love of ideas, his desire to defend the intelligence of usefulness and the usefulness of intelligence have accompanied one iconic creation after the other. From everyday products such as furniture and lemon squeezers to revolutionary mega-yachts, individual windmills, electric bikes or hotels and restaurants that aspire to be wondrous, stimulating and intensely vibrant places. This untiring and rebellious citizen of the world, who considers sharing his ethical and subversive vision of a fairer planet as a duty, creates unconventional places and objects whose purpose is to be “good” before being beautiful. Philippe Starck and his wife, Jasmine, mostly live on an airplane or in “middles of nowhere”.
