Lenny Kravitz rocks "mademoiselle chairs"

Kartell "goes rock!": The musician Lenny Kravitz reinterpreted six "mademoiselle chairs" which were originally designed by Philippe Starck. The rock icon used exotic textiles of fur, leather, python and woven materials. "Philippe Starck has been wonderfully supportive my design endeavours, so when he asked me if I would interpret his 'mademoiselle chair' for kartell, I was excited about the idea of two icons collaborating in this way. The Kravitz design take on the 'mademoiselle chair' is haute couture meets rock and roll," said Lenny Kravitz about his newest work.

I don't know how you feel about that, but somehow these instincts are still slumbering in me and even saying "hy" every now and then. To live out these hunting instincts and still keeping it humanely, i've choosen plastic animals as my target rather than real ones." Some time ago Fräulein Lampe alias Martina Hatzenbichler started to see death animals on walls with different eyes: The kitsch object new interpreted she changed plastic animals into little hunting trophies.
