French designer Philippe Starck
Yellow La Bohème by Philippe Starck for Kartell is a wonderful collection of stools / tables with a vase shape. The stools to have a striking look while they have a delicate appearance (being completely transparent), they are also functional seating. Perfect as a small occasional table or even an impromptu seat, and also suitable for outdoor use.

Sleek, minimalistic, glossy, plastic. Watch the designer, who says he’s “still with Kartell because he’s still with his wife”, speak on it:

Always nice to hear Philippe Starck on his design, this time his Play Chair for Dedon especially with his French accent English.
Looking at people seated in the Jardin de Luxembourg he came to the conclusion that a back at an angle of 45% gives the best position to dream in … or even … to think in.
