"Miss C.O.C.O." Chair
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 the 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.
