Somewhere El-S marks thirty years of creative exchange between Philippe Starck and Cassina, a partnership that has consistently refused the boundary between furniture and object. T his seating collection, composed of an armchair and three ottomans, carries that history forward through a vocabulary of craft and ceremony. The defining gesture is a handworked, saddlery-inspired closure with metal embellishments, positioned on the armchair's face and along each ottoman's flanks. The reference draws from the world of fine accessories and the considered ritual of gift presentation: the idea that a seating piece might be offered, unwrapped, and inhabited. Armchair with saddlery-inspired hardware detail on the front face Square and rectangular ottomans, each usable as independent seating or as a daybed with optional backrest support Handworked metal embellishments across the collection Upholstery in a range of materials coordinated across all pieces Starck's design sensibility here is one of ceremony and restraint. The closures evoke the unhurried ritual of opening something precious, transforming everyday seating into an object with presence and intention. Show more
