The Floyd-Hi 2 family becomes modular: flowing, comfortable shapes that develop in the space to create the desired arrangement. This collection can be used to create extremely sophisticated arrangements of welcoming, comfortable seating. The Floyd Hi 2 System sofa's backrest structure is made of multi-layer poplar wood and double-walled fir wood, upholstered in variable density polyurethane foam and covered with non-woven resinated polyester fibre batting, glued to polyamide velours backing. The seat frame is made of steel, with epoxy powder coating, hanging from elastic rubber-coated straps, padded with polyurethane foam. The back and armrest cushions are made of pre-washed, sterilised goose down, sewn in separate compartments, with a polyurethane foam insert. The soft seat cushions are made of variable density polyurethane foam with a Visco-soft insert, covered with layers of acrylic fibres. The legs are made of laser cut sheet steel with an epoxy powder coating in metallic grey. Floor support attached to the legs in black PVC. The removable covers come in fabric or leather and fasten with a zip and velcro.
Born in Paris in 1949, Philippe Starck is one of today's most original and prolific designers. Philippe Starck has become a hallowed figure of international design. A self-proclaimed "autodidact" after a spell at the Camondo school, he was already a company director even before he came of age. An inspired Jack-of-all-trades, he has no hesitation in revisiting the styles and icons of the past. While he regularly works in the world of luxury, he is also credited with democratising design. He has worked extensively with a wide range of industrial partners, particularly furniture manufacturers such as Cassina, Driade and Kartell. The Mademoiselle bridge combines an airy polycarbonate structure with a comfortable seat in polyurethane upholstered in fabrics emblematic of various Italian designers (Missoni, D&G and Valentino). He won major prizes such as the Grand Prix National de la Création industrielle and the Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects. Philippe Starck describes himself as "a Japanese architect, an American set designer, a German industrial designer, a French art director and an Italian furniture designer". He also works with lighting and tableware manufacturers such as Baccarat and Flos on the KTribe collection.
