Wow Sofa
WORDS Malibongwe Tyilo
Renowned French designer and architect Philippe Starck has added two new chairs to the Lou collection for Italian designer furniture company Driade.
Upholstered in leather, they were debuted at Salone del Mobile 2016, the furniture fair held annually in Milan. All are defined by their anthropomorphic qualities and sculptural shapes.
There’s the “Lou Think”, which has an elongated backrest and a rounded hood, emphasising a feeling of privacy as well as shade, as well as the “Lou Eat”, a versatile design conceived as a dining chair. Both are an extension of the “Lou Read” chair, a style created in 2011.
In addition to these armchairs, Philippe Starck has also designed the “Wow” sofa for Driade, a modular design that can be rearranged to create different forms, including a chaise lounge or L-shape corner sofa.
