Description

This stool is 65 centimetres high and encapsulates the different declinations of steel imagined by Philippe Starck for the Poêle Collection in a single object: light and sleek design for the footrest, soft and organic for the seat. An elegant piece of furniture, perfect to complete a kitchen island or peninsula, as well as lounge bars and contract spaces featuring sophisticated design.

Poêle collection – high stool – ALESSI
High stool in steel. Structure in brown dye beech wood.

Philippe Starck designs a collection of small furnishings consisting of chairs, stools and coat stands. The Poêle Collection showcases Alessi’s skill in working with steel, expressed in the craftsmanship that characterises the seating in the Poêle Collection, in which the metal element takes on a surprisingly fluid texture, giving the steel sheet a soft look, harmoniously enveloping the parts made of wood. The result is a series of chairs and stools with a strong identity, the design of which communicates with the formal lightness of the coat stand. A collection that fits perfectly into different style environments, in the home as well as in the office or in high-end contract furnishing projects.

As smooth as steel
Phillipe Starck offers us a new and personal interpretation of traditional home furnishing, in which the minimalist wood structure is bound by a metal shell with soft, organic lines. Steel reveals unexpected expressive possibilities in the hands of the designer: the seat becomes a sculptural element and moulds itself to the user’s body with its sophisticated ergonomics.

Philippe Starck, world famous creator with multifaceted inventiveness, is always focused on the essential, his vision: that creation, whatever form it takes, must improve the lives of as many people as possible. This philosophy has made him one of the pioneers and central figures of the concept of democratic design….
