"Philippe Starck (Paris, January 18, 1949) is a French designer of interiors and consumer objects. Starck studied design from the 1960s at the École Nissim de Camondo in Paris. In 1965 he won the furniture prize La Villette and in 1968 founded his first design studio, which specialized in inflatable objects. In 1969 he became, together with Pierre Cardin, director of the company. Starck has worked since 1975 as an independent interior designer and industrial designer. For example, he designed a door handle for the German door hardware manufacturer FSB. This model was then regarded as a design classic and left a deep mark in the door hardware industry. One of Starck's best-known designs is the Moto 6.5 motorcycle for the manufacturer Aprilia. Together with four other designers he received in 1982 from François Mitterrand the assignment to redesign the presidential private rooms in the Élysée Palace.[6] Starck also became widely known to the general public thanks to his design of everyday objects, such as the rocket-shaped citrus press Alessi Juicy Salif from 1990. For his entire body of work he received the Lucky Strike Designer Award in 2004. In the early nineties Starck was involved in plans of the Amsterdam foundation Centrum De Waag, which wanted to convert the Waag into a multimedia center. To the dismay of the Nieuwmarkt neighborhood, and of heritage lovers, Starck designed a glass extension. In order for this to be realized, the foundation went bankrupt."
