Bubble Club Chair by Kartell
designed by Philippe StarckKartell's Bubble Club Chair by designer Philippe Starck transcends the expected and offers a sleek, industrial design that fits a myriad of commercial and residential spaces. The all-plastic construction ensures the Bubble Club Chair's durability and keeps it's modern appearance fresh for years of enjoyment. The Kartell Bubble Club Chair is available in six fade-resistant colors including, Zinc White, Terra Cotta, Black, Pale Green, Pale Yellow, and Pale Grey. Made of the light plastic, polyethylene, the Bubble Club Chair flexibly complements both indoor and outdoor spaces. While the materials may be light, there is no shortage of strength and durability. The collaboration between Kartell and Starck resulted in an armchair that reflects excellent innovation and foresight. Not only did Starck design grooves along the seat to allow for proper water drainage on the Bubble Club, but the consistency of the particular plastic Kartell uses is unlikely to make those who sit on the Bubble Club Chair feel like they're sticking to the seat. Kartell's Bubble Club follows the design of the Bubble Club Sofa, which won Italy's most notable design award, the Compasso d'Oro, in 2001. The Bubble Club Chair has been found in modern living rooms, waiting rooms, patios, decks, and lounges around the world. More notably, the Bubble Club Chair is a regular on the television series Boston Legal, where characters Denny Crane and Alan Shore regularly end each episode sitting in two Club Chairs on Crane's balcony. Because the Club Chair is scratch resistant, weatherproof, and resistant to UV rays, this balcony setting makes a perfect environment for the Bubble Club collection.

 | Few designers have had an impact across the world of design like Philippe Starck. Winner of the 2009 Lifetime Achievement Award from The Designer magazine, Starck's most famous furniture pieces include the Ghost Chair series, the Bubble Club group, and the Ero S Chair. From modern furniture, restaurant interiors, to architecture, the French icon has made lasting impressions to all those exposed to his work. However, his most significant designs have been in the world of staggeringly original mass produced consumer goods, which have been sold in stores like Target across the United States. In addition to his mass-produced furniture, some of Starck's more notable projects have included designing the Optical Mouse for Microsoft, the interior of former French President Francois Mitterand's private apartment, and the Paramount Hotel in New York.
The son of an inventor and engineer, Philippe Starck is gifted with an imaginative mind. Starck combines this creativity with his architecture and design background to ensure every project he is involved with betters the world around him. Starck not only talks about improving the world we live in, but he lives out these beliefs in his everyday actions. Founder of an organic food company, Starck has begun designing affordable wind turbines for the homes of everyday people. His next green endeavors will include hydrogen vehicles and solar-powered boats. |

| Environmental Information | back to top |
Contrary to the common idea, products in plastic materials are highly ecological for the reason that they can be recycled (with the exception of polyurethane, little used in Kartell seating). In addition, the use of plastics reduces the need for living plants, such as trees, which are costly and take years to replace. In order to simplify the recycling process, the various components of Kartell furniture can be easily separated and reduced to elements made of one single material. Moreover, the plastic parts of each product carry, clearly printed, an identification mark to determine the correct classification of the seven different kinds of plastic and their effective recycling.
