I Think im Turning Japanese



Katsuya 2006 by Phillipe Starck.
I would dine in this place any day of the week! I wish Japanese restaurants in Sydney looked this fascinating, sigh. But don't worry, I'm sure we will get there. Speaking of getting there, I found Busshari in Potts Point, Sydney to be a very delightful experience, http://www.busshari.com.au/
and I don't have to leave the country for that matter.

Stunning blasts from the past- think 2006




Yoo, Toronto, Canada and Copenhagen by Phillipe Starck 2006.
Simply beautiful... mixing the old and the new, and recreating the old. This is a bold statement, poetic in its execution.

Le Lan, 2007 by Phillipe Starck









This project by Phillipe Starck is located in Chaoyang District, Beijing, China. Have you ever seen anything so rich in colour? So unbelievably enticing! The careful use of colour, highlihgting different aspects of the interior, along with the perfectly designed lighting creates a thematic and opulent space.
I take a lot of inspiration from Starck for my own work, as his work is often very quirky yet sophisticated.
Here are some interior images, all obtained from http://www.philippe-starck.com/

Mama Shelter, 109 rue de Bagnolet 2008



What can I say... I am simply in love with this design. This is where the conceptual becomes reality, something that rarely happens. I love the warmth created though the chosen materials and the sculptured chairs look stunning. So very vivid, cutting-edge and elegant, Mr Starck.

What an amazing and talented designer! Here are some images of the latest designs from Starck... loving the furniture. His designs have all shocked us (in a good way) and this collection proves how quirkiness and sophistication can fuse together beautifully.
