Bon Pure White Rocking Chair – Phillipe Starck 2008
Internationally renowned designer, Philippe Starck, has plans to make his mark on the “Reality-TV” sensation (and perhaps design a new flat screen tv during the process!). The BBC Two and Starck have teamed up to create a new television series – Philippe Starck’s School of Design. 25 aspiring British designers will vie for 10 spots at this newly created school in Paris and the opportunity to learn and work alongside Stark. The ultimate winner will receive a 6 month placement at Starck’s Paris Office.
Starck is quoted as saying “”What excites me about this project is that it’s about the future. We are trying to find the talent of young people. We don’t want the fashion victim or the design victim; we’re seeking the people who do, the people who actually make something.”
“That’s why this show can be a wake-up machine. It will also show that no one needs to be a genius to be creative. Creativity is accessible,” he added. (via Guardian UK)
