Description from the seller

A set of stylish design stools, model “Bubu 1er,” designed by the world-famous French designer Philippe Starck for Kartell, Italy. These playful and iconic stools are a perfect example of Starck’s characteristic design philosophy, where humor, simplicity, and functionality come together.

De Bubu 1er is made from high-quality molded polypropylene, a durable and lightweight material suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Thanks to its clever design, the stools are stackable and feature a removable lid, making them not only seating furniture or side tables but also offering surprisingly ample storage space. The clean lines, rounded shape, and glossy surface give each interior a modern and airy accent.

De Bubu 1er has grown into a true design icon – a playful object that elevates everyday functionality to a higher aesthetic level. A wonderful opportunity to add a piece of contemporary design by Philippe Starck and Kartell to your interior.

As you can see in the photos, the crutches show signs of use.

Carefully packed and shipped insured.

Seller's Story

My passion for special objects began early. From antique markets to garage sales, always searching for hidden treasures. Later, I learned the tricks of the trade at an auction house, and eventually decided to carve my own path as an independent entrepreneur. Every day I work on shaping my store further, and Catawiki is a fantastic platform to expand my collection and share my passion with others. The most fun part? Finding unique pieces, giving them a second life with care, and then offering them in my online shop. I rely on my eye for quality, my sense of style, and my craftsmanship. My goal is to select the most beautiful items every day myself and to put my own stamp on my collection.
