A design monograph on architect Philippe Starck, also a
ground-breaking designer of furniture, interiors and hotels.
A design monograph series on the most remarkable architects, designers,
brands and design movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries,
each book contains a historical-critical essay discussing the life and
work of the subject, followed by an illustrated appreciation of
groundbreaking work.
With his vivid imagination, wit and flair, Philippe Starck has
transformed everyday objects into icons of modern design, heralding in
the democratic design movement that has influenced what we buy and how
we live. Among instantly recognizable classics such as the long-legged
Juicy Salif lemon squeezer and the much imitated Sissi Lamp, Starck has
created some of the world's most ground-breaking furniture, interiors,
hotels and architecture, all of which are celebrated in this curated
selection of images, accompanied by a critical essay of his life and
work.
