About Philippe Starck

Born in 1949, Phillippe Starck was greatly inspired by his father, an aircraft designer.  Growing up with his father’s drawing boards and hands on projects, Stark continued his design aspirations at the ecole nissim de camondo in Paris.  Staying in Paris long after graduation, Starck became known for his taste and style.  Even the French President Francois Mitterand brought Starck on to design his palace suite.  After creating a demand for his work, Starck became one of the most famous and prolific designers of this time.  He has designed everything from apartment blocks, homes, domestic products and hotels. His aesthetic made us rethink how we design and create living spaces.
