About PHILIPPE STARCK
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.
