20thC ITALIAN SET OF FOUR "LA MARIE" CHAIRS BY PHILIPPE STARCK FOR KARTELL
A set of four “La Marie” chairs designed by Philippe Starck for Kartell in 1999. This model holds an important place in contemporary design history as one of the first fully transparent chairs produced in a single-piece injection-moulded polycarbonate structure.
The chairs feature a completely transparent construction with a softly rounded backrest forming a subtle rectangular outline. A distinctive fine cross-hatch texture within the inner shell adds both structural strength and visual detail, a characteristic element of the La Marie model. The legs are tapered and gently flared, giving the design a refined and elegant stance while maintaining lightness and stability.
