There is something universal about Philippe Starck, the adventurer-philosopher who has imposed a very particular style on our architectural landscape since 1978. Decorator of the Palais de l'Elysée, architect for the Café Costes in Paris and the Hotel Royalton in New York, designer for Beneteau and Vuitton, designer of objects and furniture, Philippe Starck has worked closely with Daum to create the sculptural vases that are already part of 20th century art legend.
