Philippe Starck with Eugeni Quitllet, Mr. Impossible, 2007. Laser welded polycarbonate.

This chair, developed with technology made possible by Kartell, was named Mr. Impossible because at the time of the initial sketch, a joint along the two shells would be large and unsightly. The development of laser welding solved this problem by making a clean join along the length, and creating an “indestructible” form. The design is simple and pleasant. I would like to place a young child in one of these chairs. I think that would be just pleasant.
