The very essence of bourgeois décor with a modern twist, the object as a mask, a technological jack-in-the-box.‎ These are the ingredients of this highly symbolic armchair.‎ The Richard III was created by Philippe Starck who, moved by the sight of battered old club armchairs abandoned in the street, decided to give them a new life.‎ At this time, Starck was imagining President’s private apartment interiors in the Elysée Palace and the Richard III became President François Mitterrand’s favorite armchair.‎Armchair with completely molded structure in rigid structural polyurethane, painted with polyurethane enamel in matt black or metallic silver.‎ Cushion in expanded polyurethane and dacron.‎
