Philippe Starck — more than just an outrageous accent.


st

Designer Philippe Starck — Attempts to answer the question.. “Why design?”

An interesting and entertaining presentation.

Check out Philippe Starck’s full bio via Ted.Com

“…and there is people like me, who try to deserve to exist, and who are ashamed to make this useless job, who try to do it in another way, and they try, I try, to not make the object for the object but for the result, for the profit for the human being, the person who will use it. If we take the toothbrush — I don’t think about the toothbrush. I think, What will be the effect of the brush in the mouth? And to understand what will be the effect of the toothbrush in the mouth, I must imagine: Who owns this mouth? What is the life of the owner of this mouth? In what society this guy live? What civilization create this society? What animal species creates this civilization? When I arrive — (and I take one minute, I am not so intelligent) — when I arrive at the level of animal species, that becomes real interesting.”

    Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months
    of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any solutions to
    prevent hackers?

    With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or
    copyright violation? My website has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over
    the internet without my authorization. Do you know any techniques to help stop content from being stolen? I’d
    genuinely appreciate it.

    Fabulous, what a web site it is! This webpage gives valuable data to
    us, keep it up.

  41. I believe everything wrote made a great deal of sense.
    But, consider this, suppose you were to create a killer post title?

    I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website, but
    what if you added a post title that grabbed a person’s attention?
    I mean design tavern » Philippe Starck — more than just an outrageous
    accent. is kinda boring. You could glance at Yahoo’s front page and see how they write
    news titles to grab people interested. You might add a related video
    or a related picture or two to grab people excited about
    everything’ve written. In my opinion, it would bring your website a little livelier.

  42. Jackie says:

    Admiring the time and energy you put into your website and detailed
