Philippe Starck (*1949 in Paris, France) studied at the private academy École Nissim de Camondo in
Paris. During the early 1970s he worked for a short time as art director at Pierre Cardin, before
establishing his own firm for interior architecture and product design. This step marked the
beginning of a highly successful career in both fields: due at least in part to his mastery of
self-presentation, Starck has become an internationally renowned "star designer" with
an overwhelming number of projects and products. In terms of furniture, Philippe Starck's most
important designs have been realized together with the Italian manufacturer Kartell, for all his
plastic chairs such as Louis Ghost and La Marie or his Bubble Club Sofa and Armchair. However he
regularly works with other manufacturers and, for example, in conjunction with Vitra developed
his wonderfully free flowing Baobab desk; the inspiration for which allegedly, is the shape of
the seed of the Baobab, or Upside-done tree. Philippe Starck currently divides his time between
Paris, New York, London and Burano.
