The Best of Designers
Philippe Starck: the 'enfant terrible' has grown upA lot. He is now a giant of design who can take on anything. His surname is already a registered brand name, and his work includes the most exquisite hotels and restaurants in the world. We got to know this hyperactive teaser through simple, everyday objects: chairs, toothbrushes and orange-juice extractors. He surprised us with his methacrylate furniture and he has tried his hand at electrical appliances, lamps, vehicles… He continues to see objects through his childlike spontaneity.
Alessandro Mendini: the Maestro of ModernityA major among majors, Mendini is many things: an architect, designer, publisher, writer, painter, professor... He has worked for Cartier, Hermès, Philips, Swatch, Alessi, Byblos and Bisazza. Together with his brother Francesco, he designs architectural projects throughout the world at Atelier Mendini. His unmistakable baroque and destructured style is a landmark in contemporary design.
