Philippe Starck France (1949 - )He remembers having spent his childhood under his father's drawing tables, passing hours stitching, cutting, gluing and grinding, disassembling bicycles, motorbikes and other objects. Endless hours, an entire life spent dismantling and reassembling anything that fell into his hands, reconstructing his surrounding world. In 1982 he renovated Palais de l'?lys?e at President Mitterrand's request, in 1984 Caf? Costes became Le Caf?, between 1988 and 1990 he transformed the Royalton and the Paramount in New York into the new classics of the hotel world, and in the following years he promoted architectonic tours de force in Japan that saw him become the leading exponent of expressionist architecture. His respect for humanity and the environment has also been recognised in France, where in 1995 he designed the Ecole Nationale Sup?rieure des Arts D?coratifs in Paris and in 1997 the control tower of Bordeaux Airport. Abroad, he continues to shake the traditions and culture of the world's major cities, with the interior design of the restaurant at Hong Kong's Peninsula Hotel (1994), the Teatron in Mexico (1995), the Delano Hotel a Miami (1995), the Modrian in Los Angeles (1996), the Asia de Cuba restaurant in New York (1997), as well as an entire series of ongoing projects in London and elsewhere. His skill lies in being able to transform instantly the object of the commission into a place filled with charm, pleasure and encounters. He tirelessly modifies everyday life, exalting the deepest roots of existence in his changes. He applies himself to the design of ashtrays, lamps, handles, cutlery, candleholders, teapots, vases, watches, scooters, mopeds, desks, beds, taps, bathsà in short, life. His increasing fascination with life has now led him to create clothes, underwear, footwear, glasses, food, and always with the conviction that his design respects nature and the future of humankind. In the exhibits of museums all around the world, in Paris, New York, Munich, London, Chicago, Kyoto and Barcelona, his work is considered to be that of a master. He has received numerous prizes and awards: designer of the year, the Oscar de luminaire (1980), the title of Officier des Artes et des Lettres (1985), the Grand Prix National de la Cr?ation Industrielle (1988), Compasso d'Oro ADI (2001), Show Boats in Munich (2003), and many others. Philippe Starck began his collaboration with driade in 1985.
In the wake of the astonishing success of Philippe Starck's iconic Louis Ghost Chair, a new chair is born: Lou Lou Ghost.

Now design-oriented parents can introduce their little ones to a great modern design in proportions just for them. And Lou Lou Ghost isn't just stylish, but practical too: made of durable polycarbonate just like Louis, this chair is scratch-resistant, stackable, indoor and outdoor suitable, and supremely easy to clean.| Item: | Dimensions: | Weight: |

A great choice! These look great, and the kids love them. They are lightweight, so even a two year old can drag it around. |

To expensive for a plastic chair This chair looks great and I don't mind mixing it with my other modern family room furniture. We have kids so I want it to look like we do but with style!! The problem I have with these chairs is that they aren't a heavier plastic. They aren't very sturdy and for[$] they are cheap feeling. They look good but they aren't made well enough for the money. |
