PHILIPPE S+ARCK

Introduction Philosophy Designs Design Style Bibliography

"I like to open the doors to people's brain." ‐ Philippe Starck

Whenever we discover an object or a place designed by Philippe Starck, we enter a 
world of wall‐to‐wall imagination, surprises and fabulous fantasy. For more than 
three decades, this unique and multifarious creator, designer and architect has 
been a part of our daily lives by creating unconventional objects, whose purpose is 
to be "good" before being beautiful, and iconic destinations that take the 
members of his "cultural tribe" out of themselves and, most importantly, towards 
something better. 
Introduction Philosophy Designs Design Style Bibliography

you once said that it is your dream to make the world 
a better place... is it beauty you are looking for?

No, not for beauty. We have to replace beauty, 
which is a cultural concept, with goodness, which 
is a humanist concept.

the beauty of intelligence?

yes. of intelligence. The elegance of intelligence 
and the beauty of happiness.

‘In all my life, I never speak about design and architecture; I always speak about our 
life: our fight, our pain, our difficulties, our dreams, our vision, our utopia.’ P. Starck

Design Style

Phillipe Starck usually manipulates combination of sharp, straight lines and curvilinear gentle shapes. 


His color pallet is also surprising. Clean, light tones, contrasted with rich, florid hues.
