AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The La Marie chair was designed in 1999 by one of the most famous contemporary designers, Philippe Starck, and shows a perfect balance between originality of design and technical innovation, a hallmark of Kartell.
The La Marie chair is molded from a single block of polycarbonate through injection. With its ultra-resistant and scratch-proof material, it is designed to last a long time, including for outdoor use. Its discreetly curved and slightly reclined seat provides surprising comfort.

This piece is truly unique because it was transformed by Valérie D, a graduate artist in product design. The artist added real flowers she harvested and pressed, including Spirea, mint, and wildflowers tinted in white. She also incorporated alcohol inks in mauve, red, and blue. The entire piece is protected with high-resistance UV epoxy resin.
The chair will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking code and a certificate of authenticity.
