Discover a masterful fusion of iconic design and contemporary art. This "Toy" armchair, originally designed by Philippe Starck for Driade in 1999, is transformed here into a unique and vibrant work of art signed by artist Jack Soro (2022). Entirely painted with acrylic and mixed media, this Art-Design piece leaves the industrial world to become an exclusive sculpture. Sold with its official certificate of authenticity.

An Explosive Encounter between Minimalism and Street Art

The main interest of this piece lies in the striking contrast between the purity of the industrial structure and the strength of the pictorial intervention:

The Support (Philippe Starck for Driade): A monobloc polypropylene block with well-known geometric and architectural lines. Starck designed it as a minimalist structure; Jack Soro uses it as a three-dimensional canvas.

Jack Soro's work: Officially titled "Toychair" on its certificate, this piece deploys incredible energy in 360 degrees. The artist projects ultra-saturated colors (bright yellow, neon pink, electric blue, red) through complex textural effects: spray paint projections, expressionist drips, and black marker lines.

A Visible Signature: The artist has invested every corner, from the seat to the base. The work is hand-signed at the base of the backrest "J. Soro".

💡 Gallerist's Style Tip

"This is a masterpiece that will energize and electrify any space. Don't treat it as a simple seat: display it like a painting or a three-dimensional sculpture. Place it under a strong directional spotlight to make its acrylic contrasts vibrate. It will be particularly enhanced next to raw materials (concrete, black metal, transparent glass) to create an unforgettable visual shock in your display window or living room."
