His is a very particular conception of design, which denotes an irrepressible creativity. We are talking about Philippe Starck, a French-born designer, known for his extraordinary inventiveness and for a style that is 'subversive, ethical and ecological, political and humorous', as he himself called it.
Awards and works
Among the prizes won by Philippe Starck there are in 88 the Grand Prix National de la Création Industrielle and the Honor Award of the American Institute of Architetcts in '92. His is the legendary Navy chair, the hand-finished aluminium chair created for the US Navy and featured in many Hollywood movies, New York bars and Frank Gehry villas.
The many faces of Philippe Starck's design
A captivating design that combines passion and poetic/artistic tension towards life with an interest in the world, politics and society, not without some inference from his rebellious character and sensitivity to environmental issues. Combining genius and unruliness in the world of theinterior design, each of his works carries with it a strong sense of humour combined with a tacit denunciation, born of his enthusiasm in imagining the new lifestyles that take shape in his works. Creativity and intelligence, sarcasm and irony, without forgetting utility: these are the keys to interpreting his work and his style, which has marked very diverse works: from everyday objects to revolutionary yachts, from hotel interiors to countless other projects.
As early as 1982 he realised the Elysium Palace of some rooms in the private flats of the President Mitterrand and is noted for its contemporary design and non-conformist.
Creativity and service
If the enfant terrible of theinternational interior design Immediately becoming known for his innovative and limitless creativity, Starck soon made the world realise that his art is put at the service of people, that art itself is a service. His works, while arousing wonder and admiration, are always the result of a study and search for utility, redefining the very concept of utility applied to pure and simple beauty.
In an interview, Starck emphasised how aesthetic and cultural work has now become pointless and how today there is an urgent need to redefine the concept of production and the very relationship between man and matter. According to the designer, man must find his own space in the world, without being asphyxiated by futile things, which do nothing more than overwhelm him with dubious symbolism, praising success achieved rather than living happily. Rediscovering the meaning of reality preserved in space and form: this is the design by Philippe Starck.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_button dimension=”outline” corner_style=”full_rounded” size=”medium” icon=”mk-icon-home” url=”/” align=”center” margin_top=”30″ margin_bottom=”0″ margin_right=”0″]Torna alla Home[/mk_button][/vc_column][/vc_row]
