Philippe Starck is one of the best-known contemporary designers
in the world. He has not only received public acclaim for
his amazing interior designs but has also proved to be an
accomplished architect and product designer. Products designed
by Starck can be seen on display in the collections of a
number of European and American museums, among them the
Brooklyn Museum in New York, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs
in Paris, and the Museum of Design in London. Prizes and
awards are showered on him: designer of the year, Grand
Prix for Industrial Design, the Oscar for Design, Officier
des Arts et des Lettres, and many more. Here we present
the Ola telephone, which has become a very collectable design
icon. When creating the Ola for Thomson in 1996, Philippe
Starck was wanting to "make a telephone which was no more
than an extension of the human limb". |
