The 245 Caprice chair is a creation by Philippe Starck for the house of Cassina. Recognisable by its glossy nylon shell, quilted with leather on the inside, the 245 Caprice stands out with its soft lines and exceptional seating comfort. The conical chrome steel legs give the 245 Caprice a light and elegant silhouette, making it just as suitable for a residential interior as for a professional or hospitality setting. Produced by Cassina, this iconic chair is available in 4 units. These pre-owned 245 Caprice chairs show visible wear marks on the legs, consistent with normal use, without affecting their stability or overall quality.
Born in Paris in 1949, Philippe Starck is one of today's most original and prolific designers. Philippe Starck has become a hallowed figure of international design. The chairs and armchairs by Philippe Starck embody iconic, bold and timeless design, blending innovation, comfort and elegance in every creation. A self-proclaimed "autodidact" after a spell at the Camondo school, he was already a company director even before he came of age. An inspired Jack-of-all-trades, he has no hesitation in revisiting the styles and icons of the past. While he regularly works in the world of luxury, he is also credited with democratising design. He has worked extensively with a wide range of industrial partners, particularly furniture manufacturers such as Cassina, Driade and Kartell. The Mademoiselle bridge combines an airy polycarbonate structure with a comfortable seat in polyurethane upholstered in fabrics emblematic of various Italian designers (Missoni, D&G and Valentino). He won major prizes such as the Grand Prix National de la Création industrielle and the Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects. Philippe Starck describes himself as "a Japanese architect, an American set designer, a German industrial designer, a French art director and an Italian furniture designer". He also works with lighting and tableware manufacturers such as Baccarat and Flos on the KTribe collection.
