Set of Six Original Costes Chairs by Philippe Starck for Driade
About the piece

A beautiful set of six original Costes armchairs, designed by Philippe Starck for Driade. Featuring curved wooden shells in a warm brown finish, black leather seat cushions and distinctive black metal three-legged frames, these chairs combine sculptural character with an inviting, enveloping shape.

Originally designed in 1984 for Café Costes in Paris, the Costes chair became one of Starck’s most recognisable creations. The design marked the beginning of his collaboration with Driade and helped establish his international reputation. Its striking silhouette captures the imaginative approach of the French designer, whose work spans furniture, everyday objects and interiors.

The signature three-legged construction gives the chair its unmistakable profile, while the curved backrest flows around the seat to form integrated armrests. An elegant set for a dining room, creative workspace or hospitality interior.

Verified Buyer

"Wij hebben onlangs een set gekocht van zes beklede stoelen. Elk exemplaar was in uitstekende staat, nog zelf in elkaar te vijzen, met duidelijke instructies bij. Voor een zeer degelijke prijs. De zoon was zelfs zo vriendelijk om te helpen naar buiten dragen en inladen. Het is iedere keer een groot plezier rond te snuisteren in deze winkel en telkens opnieuw verrast te worden."
