Philippe Starck Plastic Chairs

Philippe Starck's plastic chairs are among the most instantly recognisable designs of our time. Bringing together 11 carefully selected models, this collection explores a material that Starck helped restore to favour within the world of high-end furniture. Shaped through precise moulding processes, plastic here delivers flowing lines, structural lightness and a durability suited to everyday use, indoors as well as out. Each piece reflects a vision of design in which form answers function without ever overshadowing it.

Philippe Starck built his reputation by pushing back the formal conventions of furniture, and his plastic Philippe Starck chairs are a direct illustration of this. The Louis Ghost chair, transparent and moulded in polycarbonate, embodies that ability to blend historical reference with industrial modernity. The Masters chair, for its part, engages visually with the great signatures of the twentieth century, condensing three iconic silhouettes into a single seat. Finishes vary from one model to the next, with shades ranging from white to black and pearlescent or smoked versions, allowing them to sit comfortably in very different interiors. To broaden the search towards other aesthetics, the Muuto Chairs section or the wooden HAY chairs offer complementary alternatives in terms of materials and style.

These chairs are particularly well suited to a modern dining room, where their transparency or sculpted silhouette keeps the space visually light. They pair beautifully with a marble, solid wood or lacquered metal table, creating a refined contrast of materials. Easy to care for and light to move, they are equally practical in a workspace or an open-plan kitchen. To put together a cohesive look, The Cool Republic's Chairs section brings together other pieces by designers and design brands suited to the same settings.
