Philippe Starck



Philippe Starck, born in Paris in 1949, is one of the most prolific and original designers of this era. Winner of important acknowledgements like the Grand Prix National de la Création industrielle and the American Institute of Architects Honor Award, he defines himself as "a Japanese architect, an American set designer, a German industrial designer, a French art director, an Italian furniture designer."

The Alessi line is the best expression of mass-produced industrial design, with a superior emphasis on technological quality, craftsmanship, and conceptual design.
