Philippe Starck – Kartell – Dr. Glob Chair (1996) – Rare All-Black Edition – Made in Italy A unique opportunity to acquire an iconic piece of Italian design. This is an original Dr. Glob chair, designed by world-renowned French designer Philippe Starck for the prestigious brand Kartell. This particular piece dates from 1996, the year of its introduction, confirmed by the original Kartell embossing on the underside (see photo). It features an exceptionally rare all-black version, with a black plastic seat and matching black metal frame — a sleek and minimalist interpretation that perfectly embodies Starck’s postmodern vision. The Dr. Glob series is known for its sharp geometry, playful asymmetry, and striking contrast of materials (plastic and metal). Starck created a design that is both functional and sculptural — a true design statement from the 1990s. Highly sought after by collectors of postmodern and contemporary design, this chair is a striking addition to any interior or design collection. ⸻ Specifications: • Model: Dr. Glob • Designer: Philippe Starck • Manufacturer: Kartell • Year: 1996 (embossed) • Country of origin: Italy • Materials: • Seat and front legs: high-quality molded plastic • Backrest and rear legs: coated metal • Color: All black (rare edition) • Dimensions (approx.): • Height: 74 cm • Seat height: 45 cm • Width: 50 cm • Depth: 48 cm • Condition: • Very good vintage condition • Minor signs of use consistent with age • Structurally solid, no cracks or deformation • Original Kartell marking present ⸻ Shipping: Will be carefully packaged and shipped with insurance and track & trace.
