Designer
Prototype of the "Coccinelle" chair, originally designed by René-Jean Caillette for Steiner, this reissue attempt remained a concept that never reached production.
The chair features an original fiberglass shell, later lacquered in a crisp white, paired with a tubular black-painted metal base. This prototype embodies the ambition to revisit an iconic design, seamlessly merging the modernist elegance and clean, functional lines that characterize Steiner's legacy.
Timeless and refined, the "Coccinelle" chair highlights a perfect balance of material innovation and aesthetic simplicity.
