Philippe Starck Mi Ming armchair

Looking classic, but at the same time very modern, is the newly-launched Philippe Starck Mi Ming armchair.

In fact, it is a very traditional piece of seating, except of course for the transparent polycarbonate structure and the contrast backrest in red (which you can opt for as clear if you wish).

But as an attention-seeking piece of design, you can't go wrong. Available towards the end of this year, but available now as a pre-order, you can pick one up for £175.
