Starck

The designer Philippe Starck is an internationally acclaimed French creator, designer and architect.  The untiring and rebellous citizen of the world, who considers it his duty to share his ethical and subversive vision of a fairer planet, creates unconventional objects whose purpose is to be 'good' before being beautiful.  Most of his designs have become cult objects and his hotels are timeless icons that have added a new dimension to the global cityscape.  An enthusiastic advocate of sustainability, this visionary recently developed the revolutionary concept of 'democratic ecology' by creating affordable wind turbines for the home, soon to be followed by innovative wooden prefabricated ecological houses and solar boats.
