How Much are Famous Designers?
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Who the most famous chair designer is may refer to many different people. Arne Jacobsen, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Lilly Reich, Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, Philippe Starck, Hans Wegner, Verner Panton and Le Corbusier have all designed iconic chairs over time. Shop a selection of antique, vintage and modern chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024Philippe Starck's most famous design is arguably the Louis Ghost chair. Starck introduced the design for Kartell in 2002, and it became an instant icon. Now, it's easily one of the most recognized (and copied) designs in the world. The Louis Ghost chair is a postmodern take on the classic Louis XVI armchair, a style that emerged under the tumultuous reign of King Louis-Auguste and Queen Marie Antoinette. The second half of the chair's name refers to its materiality. It wasn't Starck's first plastic chair for Kartell, but it was the first time a single polycarbonate plastic mold was used in the process, creating a structure completely free of joints. Formally, Starck distilled the geometry of his antique reference to its main elements: the oval-shaped backrest, curved armrests and straight legs, creating a piece that has remained popular for more than 20 years. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Philippe Starck furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024Luigi Colani's most famous design is arguably the Pegasus grand piano, which he created for Schimmel.

- 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024Coco Chanel's most famous design is arguably either the 2.55 Flap Bag or the little black dress. In 1926, Chanel introduced her first little black dress, reclaiming a color that had once been reserved for mourning and working-class women. At the time, Vogue referred to it as Chanel's Ford, a reference to the Henry Ford Co. automobiles that were reshaping the automobile industry. Similarly, the little black dress was a landmark in fashion design. The earliest designs for the 2.55 Flap Bag date back to the 1920s, when Chanel began dabbling in designs for a woman's handbag that included a shoulder strap. In 1955, she finally introduced the bag, which gained fame as the first-ever shoulder bag (or one of the earliest) and it remains iconic to this day. Shop a diverse assortment of Chanel apparel, bags and accessories on 1stDibs.

Loewy even reworked shapes for snacks at Nabisco. Loewy also worked with Studebaker for decades, designing acclaimed vehicles like the 1953 Starliner coupe and the Avanti.
