Kartell Masters Chair Designed by Philippe Starck & Eugeni Quitllet

Conceived in 2010 by Philippe Starck with Eugeni Quitllet, Kartell’s Masters chair captures the notion of lightness in a single, flowing line—an elegant, stackable form crafted in technopolymer. Celebrated with the Good Design Award (2010) and the Red Dot – Best of the Best (2013), it has become a contemporary design reference.

Its backrest is a graceful homage to three modern classics: the contour of Jacobsen’s Series 7, the sweep of Saarinen’s Tulip, and the lattice of the Eames Plastic Side Chair’s “Eiffel” base, interlaced into a distinctive graphic silhouette that makes the Masters instantly recognizable.

Lightweight, resilient and suited to indoor or outdoor settings, the Masters chair is produced from recycled plastic, a clear expression of Kartell’s commitment to responsible manufacturing, proof that functionality and environmental sensitivity can coexist.

It moves with ease and, thanks to its stackable design, stores neatly, stacking up to four high. Kartell Masters chairs are offered in white, black, rust orange, grey, mustard, and sage green, and they hold their finish over time while asking for only minimal care.

Designed by Philippe Starck, the Masters chair suits a measured, modern way of living: it pairs effortlessly with round, oval or rectangular tables and sits comfortably alongside innovative materials. The Masters palette invites mix-and-match arrangements—coordinated sets or curated contrasts with a light touch.

The Masters by Kartell is a true expression of Made in Italy, where material research, design and durability meet, equally at home in private interiors and hospitality settings.
