Philippe Starck is probably best known for his ‘Juicy Salif’ metal citrus squeezer or polycarbonate ‘Ghost’ chairs. However, he’s such a prolific designer – he has turned his talents to such an array of products. He has designed motorbikes and cars, clocks and wristwatches, restaurants and hotels, mineral water bottles and bottles of Champagne, spectacles and shoes. Is there anything he hasn’t designed?!
He has worked with many leading design houses including Kartell, Alessi, Driade and Vitra. He has designed a smart thermostat for Netatmo, a hard drive for LaCie and even a micro wind turbine for Pramac.
Starck considers himself:
A Japanese architect, an American art director, a German industrial designer, a French artistic director, an Italian furniture designer.
Many of his designs are always available online – with prices from under £10 for a fly swatter to almost £10,000 for an illuminated room divider. Check out Amazon, Etsy and 1stDibs.
