What made his heart skip a beat at this year’s edition
This page is his for the day. Philippe has kindly accepted to share his views and findings at the Salone. Let’s just enjoy what made our most celebrated French designer’s day.
Stay tuned until Tuesday April 9.
The world-famous creator with multifaceted inventiveness is always focused on the essential, his vision that creation, whatever form it takes, must improve the lives of as many people as possible.
This philosophy has made him one of the pioneers and central figures of the concept of “democratic design”.
By employing his prolific work across all domains, from everyday products (furniture, a citrus- squeezer, electric bikes, an individual wind turbine), to architecture (hotels, restaurants that aspire to be stimulating places) and naval and spatial engineering (mega yachts, habitation module for private space tourism), he continually pushes the boundaries and requirements of design, becoming one of the most visionary and renowned creators of the international contemporary scene.
Philippe Starck and his wife, Jasmine, spend most of their time on aeroplanes or in "middles of nowhere". We’re glad to have him for us, just for a day.
