Philippe Starck
Subversive, ethical, ecological, political, humorous… this is how I see my duty as a designer. Philippe Starck believes that creation, whatever form it takes, must improve the lives of as many people as possible.
Emeco holds tightly to a foundation of craftsmanship and utilitarian design. The guiding principle is sustainability, design plus craftsmanship.
