Phillipe Starck Armchair for Cassina
£6,000
We are proud to be in possession of these iconic Eurostar swivel Armchairs designed by Phillipe Starck for Cassina c.2000, especially for the Premier Salon Lounge, Eurostar Terminal, Paris, and London (c.2000).
Delivering From: London, UK
Description
Enveloping armchair with metal shell swivelling on a central leg with a circular base, entirely upholstered in tawny leather, adjustable circular shelf on the right.
Like the 1970s Space Age aesthetic, these chairs have a very retro futuristic feel through their curved sculptural shape.
They were only 100 of these that were made: 44 for the Business Eurostar of “Gare du Nord” in Paris, France and 56 for the “Salon Business of the Eurostar terminal lounge in London, UK.
With over 20years of wear and tear the leather remains in quite good original condition and the structure remains extraordinarily solid – There is some wear and tear on this base and the back. But we will be making the necessary repairs to remove any blemishes that have appeared, thus getting them as close as possible back to their original state.
Please note that these are just 2 of 20 that we currently have in stock, but some need more work than others which will all be overhauled in our workshop.
About the designer:
French designer Philippe Starck’s prophetic awareness of ecological implications, his enthusiasm for imagining new lifestyles, his determination to change the world, his commitment to sustainability, his love of ideas, have taken him from one iconic creation to another.
From everyday products like furniture and lemon squeezers to revolutionary mega-yachts, vibrant hotels and the miraculous technologies of individual wind turbines and the electric car, Starck is constantly exploring the possibilities of contemporary design.

After years of functioning within the interiors industry, we continue to endure and fall in love with what inspires us, that simply being creative, WE have a prodigious passion for that fuel. Throughout these formidable years our good habits sprouted into great ones allowing us to source items, conceptions from all over the world, we quickly acknowledged without that there would be emptiness and so WeKrave was formed.
The places that we have been blessed enough to have visited, meeting some of the most invigorating eccentrics continues to drive us, as cultures and architecture remains to encapsulate. We have been exposed to unforgettable sourcing adventures, as our thirst for mid-century and vintage furnishings continues with haste.
Our only hope was that we continue to accumulate items that our customer base will fall in love with them as much as we have and as a company, we never waiver or stop sprinkling a creative touch.
