3 Top Projects You Must Know by Philippe Starck – Get inspired by one of the greatest designers.

Philippe Starck is a French designer that has been at the forefront of industrial design for nearly half a decade. In design circles, he is well respected and held in high esteem. Mr. Starck is something of a renaissance man that has worked on interior, product, industrial & architectural design projects.

Starck’s work came to the attention of Pierre Cardin, who immediately offered him a job as an artistic director at Cardin’s Publishing House. But instead of accepting it, he decided to create his own studio, initially named ‘Starck Product’ but soon changed to ‘Ubik’, as an homage to Phillip K. Dick novel, who inspired him, his imagination and his products.

We decided to make a selection of 5, divided between projects or solo pieces to furnish your house.

The joint, which until today represented something to hide and eliminate, with this collection takes up a new different, material and physical feature by becoming itself a modular decorative element.
