Enjoying the abundance of nature, introducing state-of-the-art technology and implementing environmental values is increasingly shaping our housing culture. As our home represents the hub of our everyday lives, we dedicate attention to its strength by carefully designing a customized living environment of comfort.
For this precise reason, French designer Philippe Starck and the Riko Company have merged their knowledge, experience and values to jointly develop Democratic Eco House.
Democratic Eco Houses by Starck with Riko are industrially manufactured wooden houses tailored to meet the individual needs and expectations of our clients. Adaptable to any cultural landscape, they unite high housing standards with a bold, innovative and technologically advanced construction approach and production process. Our sophisticated yet affordable design not only takes eco-standards into careful consideration, but makes them our priority in the nine principles that define Democratic Eco Houses.
Whenever we discover an object or a place designed by Philippe Starck, we enter a world of wall-to-wall imagination, surprises and fabulous fantasy. For more than three decades, this unique and multifarious creator, designer and architect has been a part of our daily lives by creating unconventional objects, whose purpose is to be 'good' before being beautiful, and iconic destinations that take the members of his 'cultural tribe' out of themselves and, most importantly, towards something better.
When Philippe Starck imagined 'democratic design' - quality objects at lower prices so that more people can enjoy the best – he was a lone voice at a time when design was turned exclusively towards the elite. There are few areas of design he hasn't explored, from furniture and mail-order homes to motorbikes, mega-yachts, and even artistic direction for space-travel projects, to name but a few.
Philippe Starck believed in the power of green out of respect for the planet's future long before ecology became fashionable. He most recently developed the revolutionary concept of 'democratic ecology' that creates affordable wind turbines for the home. These will soon be followed by solar-powered boats and hydrogen cars. Democratic Eco House is the continuation of his efforts to make ecological, designer and technologically advanced homes accessible to a wide range of individuals.
