The Magic Hole Series by Philippe Starck and Eugeni Quitllet
At Salone del Mobile 2010 in Milan, Kartell exhibited the Magic Hole seating series that has been designed by Philippe Starck and Eugeni Quitllet.
Description from Kartell:
A new trio of products manufactured with the rotational moulding technique. A two seater sofa an armchair and smaller table-front armchair complete the “Magic Hole” series. The three pieces project a clean silhouette with straight surfaces ending in nicely rounded curves and slim sectional legs. The stylistic and functional design contrasts with and enhances the linearity of the pieces. An internal flared orange “pocket” was created in the interior hollow curve of both arms. A perfect cavity functioning as a magazine holder and decorative to boot, thanks to the strong contrast of the orange against the black single mould frame. Comfortable, light, shock resistant and weather proof, the Magic Hole garden collection is perfect for outdoor use – ideal in the garden, on the terrace, poolside or in the dehors of public places.

Outdoors in public places? Not unless that moulded material is cigarette-burn proof. The magic hole needs to be a tube or it will gather a lot of crud, and outside, let’s just say, if I were a wasp, I’d think that magic hole is magic indeed.

Beautiful and elegant for outdoors.
Exxtremitie – given that it’s an outdoor chair then we can assume that any crud or wasps can be hosed out. No big deal.
