Passion Armchair
for Cassina
The Passion armchair by Philippe Starck exemplifes Cassina’s innovative approach to furniture: harnessing design acumen and impeccable construction skills to address day-to-day functionalities and bring forth a mature and eclectic piece that fits any setting, whether domestic or corporate. The Passion collection, originally available only with a four-spoke base in wood or steel, is now complemented by two new versions, both of which feature an aluminium base, with either a four- spoke or petal-shaped swivel mechanism. The futuristic-looking nylon seat, rendered possible thanks to state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, is upholstered in leather, either smooth or capitonné, the latter trademarked, follows the lines of the chair as would a bespoke tailored garment. Passion reinterprets the construction and details of the Starck’s Caprice chair with a welcoming and comfortable profile.

Philippe Starck
France
Philippe Starck has a mission and a vision: creation, whatever shape it takes, must make life better for the largest number of people possible. Starck believes this highly poetic, political, rebellious, benevolent, pragmatic and subversive duty must be borne by all and he resumes it with the humor that has accompanied his approach since the earliest days. Despite his thousands of projects - completed or in the making - he remains committed to never forgetting the essential.
Starck possesses an anticipatory concern for environmental implications. His profound comprehension of contemporary mutations, his enthusiasm for imagining new lifestyles, his determination to change the world, his devotion to a positive reduction, his love of ideas, his desire to defend the intelligence of usefulness - and the usefulness of intelligence - have accompanied one iconic creation after the other. His technological miracles are vectors of democratic ecology, focused on action and a respect for the future of both humans and nature. Predicting the phenomena of convergence and dematerialization, Philippe Starck has always devised objects that demand the most from the least.
Philippe Starck is all of the above, but above all, he is a man of honesty, in the purest tradition of the Renaissance artists.
