Philippe Starck

Dr. Kiss Toothbrush -- Alessi (1986)

Good Goods Catalogue -- La Redoute (1996)

Starck’s sense of humor and ecological passion come through in this catalog of “non-products for non-consumers in tomorrow's moral market,” both an environmental message and an about face from some of his more over-the-top projects. Witness the “Starck Naked” Starck roll-on dress.

Juicy Salif Lemon Squeezer -- Alessi (1990)

Likely the only juicer displayed at MOMA, Starck’s aluminum tripod design could be mistaken for a streamlined alien invader from a ‘50s pulp comic. He’s rumored to have said: "It's not meant to squeeze lemons, it is meant to start conversations."
