Description
Overview
Madame Pucci is credited to Philippe Starck and dated 2015 on Kartell’s product-specific data sheet. Madame Pucci is the World of Emilio Pucci edition of Philippe Starck’s armchair. Kartell links its five prints to the fashion house’s Cities of the World project and prices the Milan/Black combination as the default.
Construction
Code 5838 combines a transparent or mass-dyed polycarbonate frame with a fabric-covered polyurethane seat. The sheet maps each city print to either a crystal or black frame.
Specifications
- Largest drawing values, not labelled with axes: 54 x 53 x 80 cm
- Net weight: 8.08 kg
- Variant: 5838 Madame Pucci, Milan / Black
Story
Product idea
Pucci’s project celebrated stores in Milan, New York, Paris, Rome and Shanghai through prints that Kartell calls abstract but faithful to each city’s architecture. Madame turns those five graphics into upholstery surfaces on Starck’s armchair, with the 2015 sheet naming the edition directly.
Technical identity
The drawing sets out 54 cm across, 53 cm in side profile and 80 cm as the greatest vertical value. Other unlabelled numbers are 60, 47 and 39, and the net weight is 8.08 kg.
