AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Ploof is a two-seater sofa designed by Philippe Starck for the Italian manufacturer Kartell in the 1990s. Its soft, organic silhouette draws on Pop Art influences, and it's molded from smooth, lightweight polyethylene, making it suitable for indoor or outdoor use. This example is in yellow. A practical feature of the design is that the legs detach fully from the seat shell, making the sofa easier to transport, store, or ship.

Designer: Philippe Starck
Manufacturer: Kartell
Origin: Italy
Age: 1990s (exact production year unknown)
Material: Polyethylene (plastic), aluminum legs
Colour: Yellow
Dimensions: by design: 180 x 76 x 63.5 cm (H), seat height approx. 37 cm
Condition: Fair. This sofa has been used outdoors and shows clear weathering. There are numerous scratches and surface imperfections across the shell. Many of the lighter marks would likely improve with a thorough cleaning, but several deeper scratches and areas of damage are permanent and will not clean out. Some of this damage is subtle and not immediately obvious in photos, so please look closely at the close-up images provided. The legs detach fully from the seat shell and are included.
