Kartell - Philippe Starck - Armchair (4) - I was - Plastic, Steel

Special set of 4 original Kartell Ero|S| armchairs, designed by Philippe Starck. The model was introduced in 2001 and is a recognizable example of Italian design from the early 21st century.

This version is distinctive for its chromed steel base with castors. In the original Kartell documentation, this version is listed as model 4839, alongside the versions with a central swivel base and a fixed four-leg base.

The large, transparent, organically shaped shell is made of crystal-clear polycarbonate. The characteristic egg shape gives the chairs a light, futuristic look, while the delicate metal base makes the design appear almost weightless.

All chairs are marked on the underside:

“ERO |S| by Kartell with S+ARCK – Made in Italy”
