Limited ed. Louis 20 Chair

Philippe Starck

A striking example of 1990s postmodern design, the Louis 20 chair by Philippe Starck for Vitra combines playful biomorphic forms with an unconventional contrast of materials. The chair’s sculptural body is made from hollow blow-moulded polypropylene, with its generously rounded front legs flowing seamlessly into the seat and curved backrest. This substantial, almost inflated silhouette stands in sharp contrast to the two slender, polished aluminium legs at the rear, creating a compelling tension between visual weight and structural lightness. The vibrant lemon-yellow finish further accentuates the chair’s organic, almost cartoon-like character, capturing the experimental spirit and playful futurism of early 1990s design. Presented in a limited edition of 444 pieces.
