President M
Designer:

1984
Président M is the table designed for François Mitterrand’s private study at the Elysée Palace. Created to the minimum, it is composed of only 3 structural parts and can be completely dismantled. The tubular legs are a secondary structure, providing the base for the fins or wings on which the transparent glass tabletop is resting. These biomorphic silhouettes are so visually striking and so ideally suited to their function that the tabletop seems to be floating on thin air.

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.
