Things That You'll Like, And That Are Good For You Too
















Phillipe Starck










From lamps to hotels, from chairs to fly-swatters to toothbrushes to coins, this most prolific, creative, and whimsical of designers is the best designer of the last half century. The designer who best exemplifies the New Design style. Herbert Muschamp once said that he likes anything designed by Mr. Starck.

Mr. Starck is the most popular Frenchman in America since Lafayette. Because he is so un-French: unpretentious, down-to-earth, funny. In addition to being brilliant and artistic. What a combination. This is Public Occurrences.
