Today I'd like to tell you about a chair which has already become iconic even though it's a relatively recent design. Envisioned in 2011 by Philippe Starck, it has been named Masters chair and consists of three iconic designs put together.
These three are "Series 7" by Arne Jacobsen, the "Tulip Armchair" by Eero Saarinen and the "Eiffel Chair" by Charles Eames, the three design masters. Some lines have been amplified slightly to create this distinct pagoda-like shape.
Originally manufactured by Kartell and sold for around $400/piece, these days it can be seen everywhere due to numerous copies made. I personally got those for $20 in Ukraine and quality was acceptable. This was obviously plastic but Kartell also manufactures metal version, quite impressive. However be careful when you shop for them online and shipping price is too low as this may be a miniature!
