A born and bred Parisian, Philippe Starck, has been accused by more than a few commentators of being the "world's most famous designer." A legend of modern design, he is known for his amazing interior designs, but he has made perhaps his most permanent mark on design through his bold re-workings of everyday objects. In reimagining and rethinking the mundane, he has produced some of the most iconic shapes of the 20th century, including his leggy chrome juice squeezer, the reimagined Emeco aluminum chairs and the witty Louis Ghost polycarbonate armchair.
