Poêle collection – Monoshell chair war – ALESSI

Philippe Starck offers us a new and personal interpretation of a traditional type of home furnishing: a chair in which the minimalist beech wood structure is coupled with 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. The comfortable backrest extends into two small armrests, distinctive details of Starck’s design language.

Monoshell chair in steel. Structure in brown dye beech wood.

The Poêle Collection showcases Alessi’s skill in working with steel. 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.

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.
