Named "Louis 20" (Louis XX) as a playful nod to the French king-naming tradition.
The Louis 20 sets a moulded polypropylene seat and front legs against polished aluminium back legs. The plastic carries the orange, the aluminium carries the light, and the meeting of the two is the whole idea of the chair.
Named Louis 20, or Louis XX, as a playful nod to the French king-naming tradition. The profile borrows the manners of a court chair; the material has none of them. Designed by Philippe Starck in 1991 and manufactured by Vitra.

Ready for daily use unless the listing says otherwise. Every piece is checked before it is listed, photographed honestly with any wear shown, and sold with a written condition report. Anything repaired or replaced is stated plainly on the piece's page.
We do. If you have a piece by one of the designers of the last century, or think you might, send photographs through the selling page and we will come back with a view and, where it suits the collection, an offer.
The chair arrived exactly as described, and better than the photographs, which were the reason I rang. The paperwork that came with it answered every question I had.
They talked me out of the piece I wanted and into the piece the room needed. Right on both counts.
Solid, clean and honestly described. The condition report matched the piece down to the small marks it listed.
