Lou Eat Chair by Driade

Traditional, Italian, aristocratic families had an unfailing way of finding out what a guest’s manners were like at first sight.  Once again, Philippe Starck sits at the work-table with Driade to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the brand’s trendsetting business and etiquette, suggesting a slimming principle that will re-educate guests, teaching them to have perfect posture in a Driade context.

“Lou Eat is not a chair, it is an animal-like sculpture that could eat you.” Philippe Starck. Lou Eat and Lou Speak, along with Lou Read, form the Lou Family, a seating collection that features plastic sculptural shapes.  Lou Eat is the easiest and most versatile item in the collection, a chair upholstered in leather.  Conceived as a dining room seat, it is also ideal as the sole protagonist of spaces.

The Lou Eat Chair was designed by Philippe Starck and was launched in 2018.  Recognized as one of the world’s most influential designers, this highly prolific French designer has over 10,000 designs to his name.  From chairs to buildings, and motorcycles to clothing, Starck continues to be one of the world’s most creative minds.
