Philippe Starck Orden de los libros (cronológico)

This original edition from the exhibit in Paris has been in my possession since the publication date.

"We have to replace beauty, which is a cultural concept, with goodness, which is a humanist concept." – Philippe StarckPhilippe Starck wants to bring love and happiness into your life by designing objects, environments, and appliances that will brighten your days. He spent his childhood under his father's drawing boards, sawing, cutting, gluing, and sanding, dismantling bikes, motorcycles and other objects. Several years and several prototypes later, he has changed life at the French presidential palace, the Italians have asked him to renew the notion of furniture, and he has turned the Royalton and Paramount in New York into the first classics of the new hotel world.Starck's overwhelming international success and cult-star status are proof that people everywhere are receptive to his kindhearted philosophy and distinctive aesthetic sensibility. The democratic design projects that he has undertaken with Target (USA) and j/ii (Japan), as well as the TASCHEN bookshops in Paris and Los Angeles and the Bon restaurant chain, are among the projects included in this volume that traces the entire career of today's foremost design superhero.  

Imaginer, chercher, inventer, trouver : depuis deux millions d'années, l'humanité crée. Des outils, des armes, des vêtements, puis des machines, des moteurs, et des objets qui transforment notre quotidien. Cette saga met en lumière des hommes et des femmes qui propulsent l'humanité vers l'avenir. Dans cette édition, douze personnalités préfacent chaque chapitre, partageant leur vision du troisième millénaire : Jean-Jacques Annaud (Cinéma), Patrick Baudry (Espace), Daniel Cohen (Médecine et génétique), et d'autres figures emblématiques. L'illustrateur Emile Bravo offre également une perspective unique, imaginant le futur en réponse aux visions de Robida sur l'an 2000. En plus, une nouvelle maquette présente une chronologie illustrée des inventions marquantes de notre histoire, un sondage sur les inventions favorites, et une sélection des créations les plus insolites. Ce livre est une célébration du génie humain et de son incroyable capacité à innover et transformer le monde.
