Price History
Description
‘’GENERIC’’: A collection of universal seats according to Philippe Starck. The brilliant French designer was inspired by community chairs. The aim was to identify the "generic" character of seats traditionally used in collective spaces, to offer new and interesting added value, both for homes and local communities. The clear lines are as sleek as possible, to get to the very essence of these seats that are part of the collective memory. The GENERIC AC Venice chair - as in Arrigo Cipriani - is a homage to the owner of the famous Harry’s Bar in Venice. Within it, this profoundly elegant mysteriousness is showcased. The Venice chair is discreet and humble while being utterly distinguished. The lines have been re-worked delicately, with extreme fluidity. The soft touch matte finish is refined. Stackable, light, durable, for use indoors and out, the Catwalk chair can be used in many different contexts, in homes and business alike. Philippe Starck, on Generic chairs: "The Generic chairs are explorations: the desire to open up, to clean and reach the heart of the matter to identify and extract the minimum, the minimum that deserves to exist and from which emanates true beauty. The GENERIC chairs are square roots, minimums, structurally timeless and elegant because they are indivisible. This collection is attached to exploring the mystery at the heart of everything, to reveal the generic. ’.
Our Stylist Says
This Venice armchair is a sleek, versatile piece that works particularly well in modern or minimalist interiors due to its clean lines and translucent polycarbonate material. I love how its stackable design provides practicality without sacrificing style, making it ideal for smaller spaces or for occasional seating arrangements. When styling, consider pairing it with a neutral or monochrome colour palette to let the chair stand out or mix it with softer textures and warm-toned accessories for a touch of contrast. It’s also a great option for outdoor spaces or cafes thanks to its durable, weather-resistant construction. Simply put, it’s a functional yet stylish addition that can adapt seamlessly across various interiors.
