Hi all,

I'm pretty stoked about this. We found 3 tulip base Kartell Ero|s| chairs by Philippe Starck for $120 yesterday (price is all all 3 chair). The chairs are not in perfect condition but are in very good shape. The picture shows the style and color of my chairs.
My question is, does anyone know when this chair was designed? I can't find any makrs on the chairs to indicate when they were made. Can someone help?

Thanks!

Although...
different websites quote different years (as early as 1998), Philippe Starck's own website shows it as part of his 2001 furniture designs.
I guess he should know best.

he did a lot for Ian ...
he did a lot for Ian Schrangers hotel chain in NYC and Miami so he has been busy coming up with cool plastics, since 1990.

Thank you!
I was hoping that it's older than 2001 but I love the chais anyway... they're so comfortable!!!
