Designer Philippe Starck French
Manufacturer Cassina USA
Not on view
Philippe Starck continues to be one of the most prolific contemporary architect/designers. He experiments with new materials, frequently combining them for visual interest as well as structure and form. He works in the tradition of proto-Modernist Englishman Christopher Dresser whose late nineteenth-century designs were produced by many different manufacturers in an unlimited production line method. The "Miss C.O.C.O." folding side chair is priced affordably, allowing a more general public to live with "good" design.
