Mr. Impossible at Kartell
by Jaime / May 28, 2008


The Kartell store in New York recently exhibited Mr. Impossible, a series of chairs by Philippe Starck. While the design for Mr. Impossible was conceived years ago, the technology needed to weld two transparent shells together did not exist until recently. Also on display was Starck's Misses Flower Power, a collection of large-scale prototype vases made from transparent polycarbonate.
