4. An honest, enthusiastic citizen of today's world, he
considers it his duty to share with us his subversive
vision of a better world which is his alone and yet
which fits up like a glove.

5. He is tireless in changing the realities of our daily life,
sublimating our roots and the deepest wellsprings of
our being into his changes. He turns the toothbrush
into a noble object, squeezes lemons but the " wrong
" way, and even makes our TV sets more fun to be
with when he brings his " emotional style " into
Thomson's electronic world.

6. He also takes time out to change our pasta, our ash-
trays, lamps, toothbrushes, door handles, cutlery,
candlesticks, kettles, knives, vases, clocks, scooters,
motorcycles, desks, beds, taps, baths, toilets … in
short, our whole life.

7. A life that he finds increasingly fascinating, which has
brought him now closer to the human body with
clothes, underwear, shoes, glasses, watches, food,
toiletries et al., still determined that his designs shall,
as ever, respect the nature and the future of mankind.

9. You wanna talk design?
I hate that! You might as
well go home.

10. "We have to replace beauty,
which is a cultural
concept, with goodness,
which is a humanist
concept.“
By good objects
qualitatively but also good
for the persons who are
going to live with them- "
the object must allow the
person to open up, to be
himself and to be happier ".
STARCK

11. " Today, the designer does
not have to be the accomplice
any more of the industry so
that things are sold better but
above all, he must ask the
question of the legitimacy of
the objects to exist
I'm trying to move towards
making objects which are
honest, objects for non-
consumers, for modern rebels
".

16. Semiotic Square
The structuralist semiotician Algirdas Greimas
introduced the semiotic square (which he adapted
from the 'logical square' of scholastic philosophy) as
a means of analysing paired concepts more fully
(Greimas 1987, xiv, 49).
The semiotic square is intended to map the logical
conjunctions and disjunctions relating key semantic
features in a text.. Whilst this suggests that the
possibilities for signification in a semiotic system are
richer than the either/or of binary logic, but that they
are nevertheless subject to 'semiotic constraints' -
'deep structures' providing basic axes of signification.

26. Richard III
The very essence of stereotypical
middle-class decor, the object as a
mask, a technological jack-in-the-box.
These are the ingredients of this
explosive "molotov cocktail",
created by Starck moved by the sight
of battered old armchairs
abandoned in the street. "He" gives
them new life and one as a gift to
President Mitterrand for the Reading
Room in his apartment in the Elysée
Palace.
This is Starck at his most radical.

29. Centre Pompidou presents the first Philippe Starck
retrospective: not a design exhibition in the strict
sense of the word but a fully-fledged show in which
the spectator gets involved in the process of
discovery of the French designer's ironic world.

31. "Venez, venez il n'y a rien à voir, il y a tout à
recevoir" (come on, come on, there's nothing to see,
but everything to get) is how a public crier dressed as
a joker welcomes visitors to the exhibition, declaring
its intent right from the start.
The exhibition, designed by Starck himself, is
contained in an 800 square metre elliptical space
which is kept intentionally dark and ringed in with
smoky curtains like those of the circus.

32. To a background of Laurie Anderson music,
photographs of the designer's works pass across
screens positioned above talking heads representing
him.
Standing on the ground in the centre is "l'Ombre", a
large bronze sculpture materialising the creative
artist's subconscious.

33. From his early prototype armchairs to the Alessi
toothbrush and the renovation of Hotel Mondrian in
Los Angeles, Philippe Starck self-critically tells the
story behind the genesis of over 180 objects, the
reflections that led to their creation, the reasons for
their success or the meaning of their lack of success.
Once in a while actors appear amidst the audience to
impersonate some of the designer's obsessions and
get them involved in the theatrical production

69. Starck makes his Libé
The designer Philippe Stark who exposes himself in
the Pompidou center in Paris, redesign the current
newspaper in our invitation.
Re-center photos, attaching titles and texts, he
”creates the sense by confrontation, assembly,
a series of sparks”.
