Philippe Starck’s famous chair was designed in 1984 for Café Costes in Paris. The chair was designed with only 3 legs to make it easier to wait on tables without waiters tripping on the protrusions.
Café Costes is located within the famous Hotel Costes where uber-hip in-house DJ Stéphane Pompougnac has released several albums of re-mixed chill-out tunes for the party set.
I shudder to think how much one chair would cost. If I remember correctly, saw it going for about $1000+ a pop. Sheesh!
