Whether dining chairs or seating conceived for more unusual spaces, every model bears the signature of a designer whose influence on global design remains beyond question.

Philippe Starck has spanned several decades, constantly reinventing the everyday object, and the chair remains one of his favourite fields of expression. Among the most recognisable models is the Louis Ghost, a transparent polycarbonate chair that reinterprets the classical repertoire with a characteristic visual lightness. This exploration of plastic, between transparency and colour, lies at the heart of the Starck aesthetic. To delve further into this world, browse our selection of Philippe Starck plastic chairs. The collection offers a range of finishes and tones suited to all kinds of interiors, from the most pared-back to the most assertive. To broaden your stylistic thinking, HAY wooden chairs offer an interesting counterpoint, more organic yet just as rigorous in their design approach.
These chairs are equally at home in a modern dining room, an office, a reception area or a hybrid interior where furniture is intended to be sculptural as well as functional. Their strong visual presence calls for carefully considered pairings: a marble or raw wood table, a polished concrete floor, lighting with a directional beam. For those looking to create a cohesive whole while mixing influences, Muuto chairs bring a Nordic sensibility that resonates naturally with the formal clarity of Starck's creations.
