Good Quotes: Starck's Favourite Design

Starck_BaObabgoodqt.jpg
Philippe Starck response when asked about his own favourite designs reveals the humility in his hubris:

"The next ones. I don't like anything that I've done. That's why I continue to do it. I'm talentless, cynical, lazy and venal. Every object I've designed tells me how weak and lazy I am."

--Philippe Starck - Oct/2006 edition of Metropolitan Home
