Philippe Starck
by Philippe Starck
Paperback—448 pages, Rev edition, February 2000
$27.99—Save $12.00 off the list price of $39.99

REVIEW EXCERPT:There is no one way to describe Philippe Starck - architect, inventor, pop star, philosopher, celebrity, and all of these par excellence, but it is as a designer that he has made such a huge impact on contemporary culture. Without a doubt, the preeminent maker and re-shaper of our times, Starck has turned his hand to reinventing almost everything we encounter in our public and private lives. From toothbrush to toilet brush, desk lamp to chair, he accepts nothing and excels, it seems, at everything.

Combining brilliant form with effective function, Starck sees his mission as nothing less than the re-imagining of our relationship to objects. As Starck himself says, his designs are "non-products for non-consumers." To him a "non-consumer" is "...an individual who is alert and wary, but also open, creative, enthusiastic, and finally extremely upstream and modern."—The publisher, Pam Sommers, Public Relations Manager, Taschen America , May 26, 2000. more info
