Philippe Starck is one of the world's most successful designers, having worked on over 10,000 projects, from furniture to yachts to food and buildings, bringing his post-modern, playful and innovative styles to a series of interiors.
The designer was born in Paris in 1949, and his furniture can be admired at MOMA in New York City, the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris and the Design Museum in London.
Starck has enjoyed success designing hotels, restaurants and cultural buildings and later, of course, added a furniture line, bringing affordable designer chic to homes, including the iconic Ghost Chair. He also famously designed Steve Jobs' yacht, Venus, which was completed a year after his death.
Starck’s former LA home was built in 1953, the two-storey house opened up to create vast indoor and outdoor spaces with vaulted-and-beamed ceilings.
