Phillip Starck

Phillip Starck is one of the most influential and most well known designers of our time. A total icon of modern design.
he is known for his complete building designs, from the exterior deisgn to the interior.
hi is probably best known for his reworkings of everyday objects including chairs and tables.





(bottom left) shows his lemon squeezer.an absolutely absurd object but very well known. Phillip Starck balances on the edge of form and function as this object looks beautiful but really does it perform to the best ability a lemon squeezer can perform too?
his work is quite futuristic and abstract which relates to the modern designs we have today.
i love how he uses bright colours in blocks or just a plain sterling silver. this keeps the attention to the shape of his objects/furniture for audiences to admire.

i found a video of Phillip Starck talking about his work.
