So last night whilst flicking through the TV channels I came across this programme, School of Design. Phillipe Starck who is on of the best-known contemporary designers in the world has chosen a handful of students to come to Paris with him and create an innovative new product.
I have to say I was cringing at the TV screen at the ideas that these students were coming out with. Phillipe has picked them to attend because of their talent for design. As incredible as Starcks designs are whilst watching him I felt as a teacher he was very uninspiring. His French attitude seem to anger the students and while I could understand his point of view that there designs ideas were awful I kept wanting more from him. It was only the third episode so maybe in a few weeks hopefully my opinion of him will change.
Below is some of Starcks work:
