PLANET
Planet bar is an upholstered high chair inspired by the distinctive silhouette of planet Saturn. The bar version of the original Planet chair offers a comfortable and practical solution to seat at the bar while keeping the same distinctive style.
The rings of the 6th planet from the solar system are mostly composed of ice particles and form a smooth ellipsis that inspired Jean-Baptiste Souletie for the shape of the solid wood back supporting the round cushion of Planet.
JEAN-BAPTISTE SOULETIE
THE DESIGNER
Jean-Baptiste is the cofounder and art director of La Chance since 2012.
Jean-Baptiste was a design geek from a young age : “ On my bedside table when I was 15, you could find books on Ruhlmann or Eames and I spent my Saturdays in Saint-Germain district furniture of at the flea markets.” 10 years after, the passion was still intact when Jean-Baptiste decided to leave the investment found he was working for and revert to his first love.
The Planet chair combines the poetry of celestial bodies with the cold technicity of space modules as the mat black metal structure brings a contrasting technical feel. The sturdy metal tubes are welded and assembled by hand by the best Italian artisans. The wooden back is sculpted and bent before it is sanded to emphasize the natural grain of black stained solid ash.
Planet is both available in classic chair and bar chair version.
