Philippe Starck appears to be something of a wunderkind in the design world -- many see his persona as a combination of the outrageous "bad boy" and the traditional French "je ne sais quoi." In fact, his foray into the world of design stems from somewhat dark, existential roots.
Starck has likened himself to a Christmas tree covered with ornaments -- as his eye-catching creations hang from him, he himself becomes visible.
Starck has since been approached to design boats, mopeds, the 1992 Olympic Flame torch, and even a new shape of pasta.

 Starck Phenomenon - 1984 | Metropolis Magazine
Consider the boring hotels you would have been frequenting all these years had Starck and Ian Schrager not teamed up to renovate a pair in New York and their many eventual siblings with a sense of whimsy and an eye on the wallets of a new young, urbane clientele.
In an infamous appearance at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in 1998, Starck memorably traced his evolution from a time when he was a bacterium through stages as a fish and a frog to his final stage as a man—“Me, I am a hunter.
That outburst and similar antics were not evidence of a literal insanity, which good taste and empathy would put beyond critical use, but were a kind of faux breakdown, an effort to reclaim some of the bad-boy street cred that his success—and that of the designers he inspired—had helped to sap from his image.

 Philippe Starck’s Politique | Metropolis Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
When Philippe Starck premiered his Gun collection for Flos at Milan’s Salone de Mobile, there were two distinct reactions: those who found the 18-karat gold replicas a brilliant statement about war and greed, and those who dismissed the products as a crass publicity stunt.
In 1998, after the birth of his son and conversion to vegetarianism, Starck produced the Good Goods catalog for La Redoute; this collection of “non-products for the non-consumer,” as he called it, was ecologically sensitive, ethically sound, and politically correct.
Starck claims the Gun collection is his most obvious—but not most pointed—political statement to date.
