The Miss Dorn Chair , designed in 1982 by the young and visionary Philippe Starck for the experimental Spanish label Disform , is one of the most intriguing pieces of furniture from his early postmodern period. A sculptural object that seamlessly blends form, philosophy, and sci-fi.
The chair takes its name from "Miss Dorn," a character from Philip K. Dick 's science fiction classic Ubik —a subtle reference to the futuristic, almost otherworldly atmosphere this creation exudes. This reference perfectly aligns with the aesthetic of the 1980s, when design, film, and philosophy converged in radical forms.
Crafted entirely from black powder-coated steel , the chair exudes strength, elegance, and mystery. The floating seat cushion reinforces the impression of a throne—sleek, minimalist, and full of presence. Every detail demonstrates uncompromising vision and an exceptional sense of proportion.
This is no ordinary chair, but a culturally significant object , a rare piece that rarely appears on the market anymore. The chair is in excellent condition and is a must-have for collectors of avant-garde design or fans of Philippe Starck's early work.
A futuristic relic – mysterious, powerful and incomparable.
