About the Item

Philippe Starck, a French designer born in 1949, is a true icon in the world of contemporary furniture design. Renowned for his bold creativity, imaginative concepts, and ability to challenge conventional design norms, Starck's furniture creations have left an indelible mark on the design landscape, reflecting his unique blend of innovation, wit, and functional aesthetics. Philippe Starck's design journey began with a diverse upbringing. Raised in a creative environment – his father was an aircraft designer and his mother a painter – Starck developed an innate appreciation for art and design from a young age. He studied at the École Camondo in Paris and later founded his own design firm, which laid the foundation for his groundbreaking career. Starck's approach to furniture design is marked by his willingness to experiment with new materials, shapes, and forms. He possesses a remarkable ability to blend the functional with the unexpected, resulting in pieces that are not only useful but also thought-provoking and conversation-starting. His designs often feature a sense of playfulness and whimsy, challenging traditional notions of furniture's appearance and purpose. One of Starck's distinguishing features as a designer is his embrace of technology. He has been an early adopter of new manufacturing techniques and materials, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in furniture design. This embrace of technology has led to innovative creations that combine futuristic aesthetics with functional utility. This is embodied by this set of rare and fantastic lacquered freestanding wash basins and mirrors. To be purchased individually or as a set for impactful commercial/hospitality use. Their tubular structure include towel bars, soap dishes and a mirror.

Philippe Starck

A ubiquitous name in the world of contemporary architecture and design, Philippe Starck has created everything from hotel interiors and luxury yachts to toothbrushes and teakettles. Yet for every project in his diverse portfolio, Starck has maintained an instantly recognizable signature style: a look that is dynamic, sleek, fluid and witty.

The son of an aircraft engineer, Starck studied interior design at the École Nissim de Camondo in Paris. He started his design career in the 1970s decorating nightclubs in the city, and his reputation for spirited and original interiors earned him a commission in 1983 from French president François Mitterrand to design the private apartments of the Élysée Palace. Starck made his name internationally in 1988 with his design for the interiors of the Royalton Hotel in New York, a strikingly novel environment featuring jewel-toned carpeting and upholstery and furnishings with organically shaped cast-aluminum frames. He followed that up in 1990 with an equally impressive redesign of the Paramount Hotel in Manhattan, a project that featured over-scaled furniture as well as headboards that mimicked Old Masters paintings.

Like their designer, furniture pieces by Starck seem to enjoy attention. Designs such as the wedge-shaped J Series club chair; the sweeping molded-mahogany Costes chair; the provocative Ara table lamp; or the sinuous WW stool never fail to raise eyebrows. Other Starck pieces make winking postmodern references to historical designs. His polycarbonate Louis Ghost armchair puts a new twist on Louis XVI furniture; his Out-In chair offers a futuristic take on the classic English high-back chair. But for all his flair, Starck maintains a populist vision of design. While one of his limited-edition Prince de Fribourg et Treyer armchairs might be priced at $7,000, a plastic Starck chair for the Italian firm Kartell is available for around $250. As you will see on 1stDibs, Philippe Starck’s furniture makes a bold statement — and it can add a welcome bit of humor to even the most traditional decor.
