PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

CHAIR/SIDE TABLE « MICKVILLE » CA/1985 

THE MICKVILLE BY PHILIPPE STARCK IS A STRIKING EXAMPLE OF THE DESIGNER’S ABILITY TO MERGE PLAYFULNESS WITH FUNCTION. SERVING BOTH AS A CHAIR AND A SIDE TABLE, THIS MULTIFUNCTIONAL PIECE REFLECTS STARCK’S AVANT-GARDE VISION FOR ADAPTABLE LIVING SPACES. ITS MINIMALIST STRUCTURE, COMPOSED OF CLEAN, GEOMETRIC LINES, IS TOPPED WITH A CIRCULAR ELEMENT THAT SERVES BOTH AS A HANDLE AND A WHIMSICAL VISUAL ANCHOR.

THE PIECE’S TUBULAR METAL LEGS AND SLIM SILHOUETTE GIVE IT AN INDUSTRIAL YET ELEGANT FEEL, WHILE THE MATTE FINISH SOFTENS ITS APPEARANCE. THE MICKVILLE CHALLENGES TRADITIONAL FURNITURE TYPOLOGIES, OFFERING A DESIGN THAT IS AS MUCH A STATEMENT AS IT IS FUNCTIONAL. STARCK’S WORK HERE IS A TESTAMENT TO HIS ABILITY TO PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF FORM AND PURPOSE, MAKING THIS PIECE NOT JUST A FUNCTIONAL OBJECT, BUT A SCULPTURAL ADDITION TO ANY MODERN INTERIOR.
