About the Item
This set of five Slick Slick chairs was designed by Philippe Starck in 1999 for the French manufacturer XO Design. Slick Slick is the essence of a chair. A concentrate of elegance and intelligence. It symbolizes Starck's creativity and vision and determination to offer the right product at the right price. Manufactured using advanced gas-assisted injection technology, due to which the Slick Slick chair is lightweight and durable at the same time. It is made of white polypropylene. They are suitable for use both indoors and outdoors. They perfectly matching into each other so they can be stacked. They have a signature under the seat.
Philippe Starck was born in 1949 in Paris. He is a versatile artist. He discovered his inspirations and interests thanks to his father, who was an aeronautical engineer. Starck is an architect known for a wide range of projects that include interiors, architecture, household items, furniture, boats and other vehicles. He designed furniture for the Elysée Palace for the then French President François Mitterrand. Since 1981, he has been designing for the original brand XO DESIGN. In 2010, he created the Zartan chair for Magis entirely made of natural material such as bamboo, linen and hemp fibres, a non-toxic and biodegradable alternative to replace plastic. In 2012, he created Broom for Emeco, an anti-waste chair made of materials collected in wood and plastic factories. In 2019, he released Cassina Croque la pomme a furniture collection for Cassina, entirely made of vegan fabric, made of apple leather. In 2018, Starck collaborated with Axiom Space and created the interior of the housing module of the International Space Station. In 2019, the audience was presented with the so-called A.I. chair. Starck works with experts from 3D software company Autodesk and created the design of the chair with the help of artificial intelligence. He cooperates with, among others with companies: Alessi, Kartell, Magis, Aprilla, JC Decaux, Puma AG. Starck's work can be seen in the collections of European and American museums, including the Musée National d'Art Moderne, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the MOMA and Brooklyn Museum in New York, the Vitra Design Museum in Basel and the Design Museum in London. Over 660 of his designs were inventoried in French public collections in 2011. Starck's concept of democratic design led him to focus on mass-produced consumer goods rather than disposable pieces, seeking ways to reduce costs and improve the quality of mass-market goods.

Philippe Starck
A ubiquitous name in the world of contemporary architecture and design, Philippe Starck has created everything from hotel interiors and luxury yachts to toothbrushes and teakettles. Yet for every project in his diverse portfolio, Starck has maintained an instantly recognizable signature style: a look that is dynamic, sleek, fluid and witty.
The son of an aircraft engineer, Starck studied interior design at the École Nissim de Camondo in Paris. He started his design career in the 1970s decorating nightclubs in the city, and his reputation for spirited and original interiors earned him a commission in 1983 from French president François Mitterrand to design the private apartments of the Élysée Palace. Starck made his name internationally in 1988 with his design for the interiors of the Royalton Hotel in New York, a strikingly novel environment featuring jewel-toned carpeting and upholstery and furnishings with organically shaped cast-aluminum frames. He followed that up in 1990 with an equally impressive redesign of the Paramount Hotel in Manhattan, a project that featured over-scaled furniture as well as headboards that mimicked Old Masters paintings.
Like their designer, furniture pieces by Starck seem to enjoy attention. Designs such as the wedge-shaped J Series club chair; the sweeping molded-mahogany Costes chair; the provocative Ara table lamp; or the sinuous WW stool never fail to raise eyebrows. Other Starck pieces make winking postmodern references to historical designs. His polycarbonate Louis Ghost armchair puts a new twist on Louis XVI furniture; his Out-In chair offers a futuristic take on the classic English high-back chair. But for all his flair, Starck maintains a populist vision of design. While one of his limited-edition Prince de Fribourg et Treyer armchairs might be priced at $7,000, a plastic Starck chair for the Italian firm Kartell is available for around $250. As you will see on 1stDibs, Philippe Starck’s furniture makes a bold statement — and it can add a welcome bit of humor to even the most traditional decor.
