Thalya Chair by Kartell
Set of 2
designed by Patrick Jouin
A revitalizing remake of a classic chair design, Thalya is a modern side chair with soft, rounded lines and a seamless, uninterrupted form. Made out of polycarbonate and manufactured using gas-injection technologies, the Kartell Thalya Chair has hollow legs and a subtle diamond pattern running across its seat (shown at right).
Created by Patrick Jouin and produced by Kartell, the Thalya Chair is perfect for contemporary settings and is available in a wide range of colorful finishes. It has an almost ethereal touch, which stands out in almost any setting (the exception being if the setting in question happens to be full of Kartell furniture, where numerous "ethereal" pieces could be present).
This chair is perfectly suited for both indoor and outdoor use and can be stacked five chairs high; this, combined with the fact the Thayla weights only 8.8 pounds, makes stowing and moving nearly effortless.
About the Designer

Patrick Jouin was born in Nantes, France, in 1967. He got his diploma “ENSCI-les Ateliersâ€, Ecole nationale supérieure de création industrielle, in 1992 in Paris. Working as a designer for the “Compagnie des Wagons-lits†and for “tim thomâ€, THOMSON multimedia, with the Art Direction of Philippe Starck, he collaborated with Philippe Starck’s studio in Paris from 1995 to 1999. He was awarded Designer of the Year in 2003 at Maison & Objet, Paris. His firm, founded in 1999, is so busy it has been split in two: Patrick Jouin ID, for the design of objects, and Jouin Manku (in partnership with Sanjit Manku), for interiors and architecture. Even the most exacting design snob should find something to like among his output, so varied and multiform are his realizations.
Patrick Jouin stands out through his elegant, clean style designed to serve the project: the quest for balance between tradition and innovation leads to luminous, enchanted designs. Taste and close attention to technique is one of the permanent characteristics of Patrick Jouin’s designs. He is also hailed for his ability to keep together the functionality of an object and the design of a space, its line and beauty: an alliance that ensures long-term protection for his production.
