Take a moment to listen to Philip Starck’s ‘Design and Destiny’ talk on TED.

Take a moment  to listen Philip Starck’s TED talk (above) – ‘Design and Destiny’. Starck’s playful and curious approach to design combined with the importance he places on it as a key component in man’s evolution is both refreshing and inspiring. Whether you like his work or not his objects have defined our generation and contributed to the ‘poetry’ of our moment. As he says, ‘that is why I continue to design’.  The objects he creates are his contribution to our mutation process and we can choose to surround ourselves and interact with the pieces around us and create our own personal dialogue with our surroundings. That is the essence of the role of design in our lives.

What do you think?

We can source works by this designer for you. Please contact us with inquiries.
