"J. (Série Lang)" Armchair

Designed 1987

This chair was originally designed for the office of French Minister of Culture Jack Lang. It combines the volume and upholstery of a classic leather club armchair with a weaponlike metal leg. "Violence is a part of life," says Starck. "Contemporary furniture should mirror that reality."
