Kartell A.I. LIGHT Stool - / H 45 cm - Designed by artificial intelligence / Recycled by Kartell Grey
Description
Kartell Stool Grey Plastic material. Dimensions: Ø 32 x H 45 cm. The A.I. family is growing with the arrival of the LIGHT stools: Made with recycled material, they focus on comfort thanks to the wide and welcoming seat. The future is taking shape at Kartell… A pioneer and visionary, famous designer Philippe Starck continues to innovate: he has created the first chair designed by artificial intelligence. To design it, Starck used Autodesk, an American company specialising in 3D design software. To design the A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) chair, Philippe Starck, Autodesk and Kartell asked a single yet crucial question of Dreamcatcher (the generative design software developed by Autodesk): Would you be able to give our bodies somewhere to rest by using as little materials and energy as possible? With no culture, memories or influence, the software only responded with intelligence, its artificial intelligence. A.I. is the first chair designed outside of our brains, outside of our ways of thinking. Human creative thought and artificial intelligence therefore merged to design a chair made completely by an algorithm which meets the original requirements: creating a comfortable, study chair in line with the Kartell collections' aesthetics, with as little material and energy as possible. The A.I. collection is the result of joint work between artificial and human intelligence, defined by Starck himself as Natural intelligence. Autodesk stated that the design process with the artificial intelligence software was reminiscent of a child learning. Starck described this process as very similar to a conversation between two human beings. Why do chairs all look like each other? How can you create a structurally different chair? At one point, I needed to open a new door… explained Philippe Starck, on the creation of the A.I. chair project. This collaboration between human and artificial intelligence has shown that artificial intelligence can assist the work of a designer by calculating what the optimal responses are to a design idea. The A.I. collection is a symbol of the experimental approach of design and the ecological commitment of designer Philippe Starck. Coming from elsewhere, a new world is now open to us. A world without limits…, as Starck concluded. No doubt the A.I. chair marks a turning point for the future of design.
