Philippe Starck a master of design in his own right, decided to pay homage to his forefathers: the master’s of midcentury modernism. By combining the lines of Arne Jacobsen’s Series 7, Eero Saarinen’s Tulip chair, and the Eames’ Shell chair, Starck has created a clever and surprisingly beautiful tribute. Made of plastic (sold by Kartell), the Master’s Chair serves as a poetic three dimensional representation of a defining time in design history. Though it is debatable that it may be a more successful art object than a piece of practical furniture, what is undeniable is Starck‘s ability to spark dialogue and debate within the design community through his work.
