"One, two, and three...", in three pencil strokes Philippe Starck explains his concept of the Sofa Bubble Club.

Take a Twenties classic Club and make it into a simple, modern and innovating settee. Whereas the Club sofa was the privilege of middle-class interiors, Philippe Starck reinterprets this object with a greater concern for making it accessible to all. Initially, the idea is to make a sofa which everyone likes, on the basis of a settee prototype. Next, it is to make a settee that everyone can buy. More leather, but using a hollow monobloc casing, made up in one piece and all in rotomould plastic. The final product has to be robust, a piece of garden furniture that can be used in a living room that is almost indestructible. The soft lines of the sofa are classical, enduring, lasting; no one will want to throw it away: it's ecological.
Forms, matters, colours, technique, this documentary is about "design".
