Starck Speaks

Philippe Starck is arguably the most famous living designer, and certainly one of the most prolific. He has reached a phenomenal international reputation in hotel interiors, furniture design and domestic products. Starck has also designed a number of private dwelling houses and apartment blocks, commercial premises. An honest, enthusiastic citizen of today's world, he considers it his duty to share with us his subversive vision of a better world which is his alone and yet which fits up like a glove. Crazy, warm yet terribly lucid, he touches us through his work, which is fine and intelligent indeed, but most of all touches us because he puts his heart into that work.

In 2001,
Starck was invited to speak during LIMN San Francisco's 20th anniversary celebration, 7 days + 7 nights. Click the link above to see video of Starck commenting on everything from starting out in the design world to boats to sex and inspiration.
