Design Monograph: Starck

A design monograph series on the most remarkable architects, designers, brands
and design movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, each book
contains a historical-critical essay discussing the life and work of the
subject, followed by an illustrated appreciation of groundbreaking work.

With his vivid imagination, wit and flair, Philippe Starck has transformed
everyday objects into icons of modern design, heralding in the democratic
design movement that has influenced what we buy and how we live. Among
instantly recognizable classics such as the long-legged Juicy Salif lemon
squeezer and the much imitated Sissi Lamp, Starck has created some of the
world's most ground-breaking furniture, interiors, hotels and architecture,
all of which are celebrated in this curated selection of images, accompanied
by a critical essay of his life and work.
