There are objects that are universally recognized as icons. The Costes armchair which, in 1984, marked the beginning of the collaboration between Philippe Starck and Driade, and the consecration of the then unknown designer in Italy, is certainly one of these objects. Designed for the homonymous, now deceased, Parisian café, it owes its timeless success to the absolute shape: an enveloping dark wood body and three strongly inclined legs.
