Excerpt: Philippe Patrick Starck (born January 18, 1949, Paris) is a French product designer and probably the best known designer in the New Design style. His designs range from spectacular interior designs to mass produced consumer goods such as toothbrushes, chairs, and even houses. He was educated in Paris at Ecole Nissim de Camondo and in 1968, he founded his first design firm, which specialized in inflatable objects. In 1969, he became art director of his firm along with Pierre Cardin. Alarm clock Telefunken ca. 1995, Design Ph.

His most recent notable designs include an optical mouse for Microsoft, yachts, and even new packaging for a beer company.
