“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 which are part of the collective memory. The GENERIC CW chair - as in Catwalk - is the skeleton, the core, the very essence of chairs found in fashion shows. It has this deeply elegant mystery. The Catwalk 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 away and reach the heart of the matter to identify and extract the minimum, this minimum that deserves to exist and from which comes true beauty. The GENERIC chairs are square roots, minimums, structurally timeless and elegant because they are indivisible. This collection sets out to explore the mystery at the heart of everything, to reveal the generic. ".
I love this stacking chair for its sleek, modern look and versatility. Its transparent polycarbonate shell lends a contemporary edge to both minimalist and eclectic interiors, making it perfect for kitchens, dining rooms, or even breakout spaces. The fact that it stacks easily is a real bonus for practical storage, while its clean lines and subtle presence allow it to blend seamlessly with various colour schemes and design styles. For styling tips, I’d suggest pairing it with a wooden or coloured table to add warmth or contrast, and using soft textiles like cushions or seat pads to introduce comfort and a personal touch. It’s a smart choice for creating an airy, functional space with a subtle dose of modern elegance.
