PHILIPPE STARCK Philippe Starck was born on January 18 1949 in Paris, France. He has become widely known since the start of his career in the 1980s for his interior product, industrial and architectural design work. After setting up his first industrial design company, Starck Product (later known as Ubik) he began working with manufacturers in Italy such as Kartell, Alessi and Driade. For the past thirty years Starck has been designing luxurious hotels and restaurants all around the world. One of his recent projects is “Yoo inspired by Starck” which is a complex of luxurious apartments all around the world. On the contrary, Starck is known for his “democratic design” concept- well designed, quality objects that are affordable to a wider range of population.! !
