So, I bet you want to know why I chose Starck for my exhibit project huh? Well, that's easy...
The most badass lamp ever (I bet you didn't know a lamp could be badass). Put this one right next to the scarface poster...
BUT
there's more

Stark designs everything!
From vehicles (boat, motorcycles...)


Interiors
Toilets!
Pasta!
And more! Packaging, furniture, architecture, technology products, clothes, luggage!
The only problem is narrowing things down to what I want to present in the exhibition.

So
Phillipe Stark
was born in Paris in 1949.
inspired by his father, who worked as an aircraft designer
starck spent his childhood under his father's drawing boards,
sawing, cutting, gluing, and sanding, dismantling bikes,
motorcycles and other objects.
from the mid-sixties, starck attended the ecole nissim de camondo
in paris, and he set up his first company in 1968 to produce
inflatable objects. in the 1970s he fitted out the paris night-clubs
la main bleue (1976) and les bains-douches (1978).
french president francois mitterand assigned him to decorate a
suite in the elysée palace in paris in 1982.
since then he has reached a phenomenal international
reputation in hotel interiors, furniture design and domestic products.
in 1984 he designed the interior of the café costes in paris,
along with those of other establishments, such as the manin in
tokyo (1985) and teatriz in madrid (1990).
he has also designed a number of private dwelling houses and
apartment blocks, commercial premises. in paris a whole street block,
la rue starck, is going up to his designs (1991).
philippe starck may be the most famous and prolific designer alive.
his desire for transgretion and challenge, of aesthetic and cultural
provocation made him change our lamps, door handles, cutlery,
kettles, vases, clocks, scooters, motorcycles, desks, beds, taps,
toothbrushes, baths, toilets… in short, our whole life.
