Generic C Armchair by kartell. Generic is an ambitious project of deeply ethical connotations, in which new objectives are defined for contemporary design to fulfil and creativity is seen in the light of a public service. Thanks to a creative concept by Philippe Starck, Kartell identifies the “generics” of community seating. Hence the creation of Generic C, the chair designed for bars, restaurants and places of entertainment, available in six different matt and soft touch finishes: the seatback is high, the armrests generously proportioned and the design is functional. Generic C Armchair by kartell is designed by Philippe Starck.
Kartell was founded in Milan in 1949 by chemical engineer Giulio Castelli with the conviction that industrial polymer technology could produce objects of lasting aesthetic and cultural value. The company's history is a series of manufacturing firsts: the first injection-moulded plastic storage unit (Anna Castelli Ferrieri's Componibili, 1969); the first chair produced from a single polycarbonate mould; Philippe Starck's Louis Ghost (2002), which reinterpreted a Louis XVI fauteuil in transparent polycarbonate and became one of the most sold chairs in design history. The Masters chair by Philippe Starck (2009) layers the silhouettes of the Eames DSR, Saarinen Tulip and Jacobsen Series 7 into a single polycarbonate shell - a piece of design history that is also a piece of design commentary.
