More quotes by Philippe Starck
Subversive, ethical, ecological, political, humorous ... this is how I see my duty as a designer.
Philippe Starck
Dreaming is a form of action. Idleness is a form of action. The idle man stares at the sky and sees what constitutes our eternal ceiling. The sky is one of the things that constructs us, one of our constants. But it is not what people believe. I should like to close this circle by turning over in my bed and scrutinizing the stars.
Philippe Starck
The more materiality there is, the less humanity there is
Philippe Starck
I try to rediscover why that object exists at all, and why one should take the trouble to reconsider It. I don't consider the technical or commercial parameters so much as the desire for a dream that humans have attempted to project onto an object.

Philippe Starck
Design is a dreadful form of expression
Philippe Starck
You create your own decoration. You choose your color, you choose your mood. ... If you are depressed, you put some bright yellow and suddenly you are happy.
Philippe Starck
For the organic food, the less it's designed, the better it is
Philippe Starck
I'm not a god, I'm not a genius, I'm not a monk, I make non-design for non-consumers. I don't know if I do exist.
Philippe Starck
Despite its simple and humble design, Zik is certainly today one of our most successful products in terms of intuitive ergonomics.
Philippe Starck
Anyone can build a building that protects people from heat, sun and cold. What I am determined to do is to make a stage where people can be sexier and more brilliant, a place where they can awake smarter.
