With more than 10,000 creations completed or currently in development, Philippe Starck is one of the most influential figures in contemporary design.
At the heart of his work lies a clear conviction: whatever form it takes, design should improve the lives of as many people as possible.
Believing that creativity is a shared responsibility, Starck designs objects and spaces that are “good” before they are beautiful, bringing together poetry, functionality and innovation.
His ability to interpret the transformations of society and imagine new ways of living is reflected in a body of work that ranges from everyday objects and furniture to hotels, yachts, architecture and experimental projects.
Committed throughout his career to an essential and sustainable approach to design, Starck anticipated themes such as dematerialisation, efficiency and ecological thinking in design.
From domestic wind turbines and smart thermostats to electric bicycles and prefabricated homes, his innovations demonstrate how technology and design can contribute to a more responsible future.
