Collection Story
Origin
Kartell introduced Generic Chair, a Philippe Starck design, as a new family of seats with a functional and basic design in its Salone del Mobile 2016 press release, under Office and Contract.
Design Language
The release gives the aim as isolating the "generics" of public-space chairs: model A for the office world, model C for cafés, bars, restaurants and venues.
Key Pieces
- Generic A, for the office world
- Generic C, for bars, restaurants and entertainment venues
- Generic B, Generic CW and Generic for Venice, which Starck's biography says joined the family the following year
