ABOUT ME
All about my passion
A career rich with 10,000 creations - completed or yet to come - global fame and tireless protean inventiveness should never overshadow the essential, Philippe Starck has a mission, a vision: that creation, whatever form it takes, must improve the lives of as many people as possible. Starck vehemently believes this poetic and political, rebellious and benevolent, pragmatic and subversive duty should be shared by everyone. He sums it up with the humour that’s set him apart from the very beginning: “No one has to be a genius, but everyone has to participate.”
My father was an aeronautical engineer. For me, that made invention a duty.
~ Philippe Starck

Moor(e) is a paradigmatic piece serving to define the notion of “contemporary luxury”, a luxury made up of material, technology, comfort, thus possessing all the right stuff to turn it into an icon of the new millennium.
Based on a concept of interchangeable liaisons of materials, colours, workings, PLAY opens the horizon to a future of specially customised furniture and an array of possible combinations. Pieces that can be redesigned to achieve a personal fit, ordered online, produced upon request, and which assume the client’s direct, emotional and creative inputs to make the design relationship more liberating and fun.

"With Magic Hole you can go fast to the ultimate dimension of your next nap in the garden." Ph.

The three pieces project a clean silhouette with straight surfaces ending in nicely rounded curves and slim sectional legs. Comfortable, light, shock resistant and weather proof, the Magic Hole garden collection is perfect for outdoor use.
"Calippo is the story of a table that wanted to fly, but it didn't have the power. But, it tried to believe anyway.
