Designer furniture & lights by Philippe Starck at lachair.com

Philippe Starck, born 1949 in Paris, 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, he becomes an internationally renowned "star designer" with an overwhelming number of projects and products. He is an instructor at the Domus Academy in Milan in 1986. Together with the property developer John Hitchcox, he co-founded "Yoo" in 1999, a company that uses design, branding and marketing to develop residential, hotel and leisure properties worldwide.
