Starck confirms project for Jobs family, not Apple

Rue Liu, Apr 16th 2012 Discuss [0]

The buzz last week that iconic designer Philippe Starck was working on a "revolutionary" project for Apple was quickly shot down by the Cupertino company and now the designer himself has issued a statement confirming the same. Starck is indeed working on a design project for the late Steve Jobs' family, but it's a personal project that involves Jobs' private yacht and not a next-gen product for Apple. Read The Full Story

Apple’s next big thing? Certainly not Starck’s ‘revolutionary’ project

Chris Burns, Apr 13th 2012 Discuss [0]

Today our dreams for a Philippe Starck-designed Apple product have been quickly dashed by none other than Apple themselves in a simple statement. Speaking with John Paczkowski of All Things D, an Apple spokeswoman said simply that they are not working with Starck on a project at all. On the other hand, it has been revealed (or remembered, rather) that Steve Jobs was indeed working with Starck before he died on a project that very well could have been what Starck was referring to, in a sense.

Apple Starck project bringing ‘brain with motorcycle helmet’ this summer

Chris Burns, Apr 13th 2012 Discuss [0]

There’s nothing better than when a brilliant industrial designer like Philippe Starck gets the opportunity to design for a massively powerful manufacturer like Apple. This week we’re hearing from Starck via a French radio show that he’s worked with Apple for several years on a project which will be released this summer – a “revolutionary” product at that. What we’re doing now is combing through the Starck archives to see if we can glean some information and put together some puzzle pieces that equal out to be what Apple may have helped this man bring to the world this year.

Philippe Starck working with Apple on “revolutionary” project

Ben Kersey, Apr 13th 2012 Discuss [0]

French designer Philippe Starck has said in a radio interview that he’s working with Apple on a “revolutionary” new project. Starck says that the project will be revealed within the next eight months. Typically Apple likes to keep its design principles in house, most notably coming from famous designer Sir Jony Ive, so it raises questions about what exactly Starck could be working on.

Philippe Starck designs the car haters EV

Shane McGlaun, Mar 8th 2012 Discuss [0]

Philippe Starck has designed an electric vehicle from the angle of a person who hates cars. Seriously, he hates cars, he said so himself. Apparently, he thinks cars and noisy, dirty, antisocial, masochistic, and bring out the worst in people. Ironically, I rather feel the same way about some designers. The EV looks like something from a 60s moon-themed beach movie. I'm pretty sure Starck wants the owners of this vehicle to die. Read The Full Story

Dieter Rams: Apple designs are “a compliment” [Video]

Chris Davies, May 26th 2011 Discuss [0]

Famed designer Dieter Rams has described how, rather than being offended by the oft-commented similarity in themes between Apple's hardware design and his own work, he takes it as a compliment that Jonathan Ives and the rest of the Apple team follow the same core tenets as he did. Speaking to Co.Design, Rams - whose uncomplicated and exceedingly elegant designs still managed to look fresh and modern, despite dating back several decades in some cases - recalled being approached while at a party by an indignant Philippe Starck claiming "Apple is copying you!"

His solution: a personal wind-turbine, called Democratic Ecology. Read The Full Story
