Designer

Philippe Starck

Philippe Starck, 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.

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, space habitation module), he continually pushes the boundaries and requirements of design, becoming one of the most visionary and renowned creators of the international contemporary scene.

In 1984 and 1985, Philippe Starck collaborated with Baleri Italia to create five pieces of furniture: Café Chair, Francesca Spanish, Richard III, Président M and Mac Gee. Visionary and timeless, these now-iconic creations are still a successful production today.
