Francesca Spanish
Designer:
Year:
1984
The Francesca Spanish chair with armrests is named after a character from Ubik, a novel by Philip K. Dick which captured Starck’s imagination. At first sight, the extremely honest and rigorous design looks neat and stripped to its essentials to highlight the functional nature of the object, yet the backrest pushes forwards hooking itself onto the arms which in turn boldly curve down to becomes the legs with a gentle change of proportions. The simple clean lines become complex, the object slides into another dimension and takes on an expressive physical presence.

Philippe Starck
Philippe Starck, world famous creator with multifaceted inventiveness, is always focused on the essential, his vision: that creation, whatever form it takes, must improve the lives of as many people as possible. By employing his prolific work across all domains, from everyday products (furniture, a citrus-squeezer, electric bikes, an individual wind turbine), to architecture (hotels, restaurants that aspire to be stimulating places) and naval and spatial engineering (mega yachts, space habitation module), he continually pushes the boundaries and requirements of design, becoming one of the most visionary and renowned creators of the international contemporary scene. In 1984 and 1985, Philippe Starck collaborated with Baleri to create five pieces of furniture: Café Chair, Francesca Spanish, Richard III, Président M and Mac Gee. Visionary and timeless, these now-iconic creations are still a successful production today.
