Kartell's New Stool

Kartell have added a new addition to their "ghost" stable of furniture and accessories by Philippe Starck. Titled "One More, One More Please" this family of stools features the familiar silhouette of the Victoria Ghost Chair back mounted on a bar and counter height stool. This oval version is partnered with a square back version - similar to that seen on the La Marie Chair. In a new palette of colours - from the lighter lavender, yellow and sand, the range also comes in the original and classic Kartell black and white. Both stool heights come with a footrest and at great value at £208.00 this is sure to be a big hit with both the contract and domestic markets.

The Master

Designed by Philippe Starck for Kartell, the Masters Chair pays homage to three iconic chair designs of the twentieth century.

Look closely and you can pick out the silhouette of Arne Jacobsen's Series 7 Chair, Eero Saarinen's much loved Tulip Chair and of course the popular Eames DSR, each design woven into the next.

Now this could have ended in disaster, but Starck's ability to create great design is further proved with this slender hybrid atop a four leg base - design addicts will love it!

Orders are now being taken for delivery in September 2010, get in touch.

Due to packing restrictions this chair must be ordered in a minimum of two chairs per colour.
