Philippe Starck: Why design?
- napierzaza 16y agoPhillipe Starck is such a wind bag celebrity designer. I don't believe this guy for a second just because he's pseudo philosophical. Congratulations on your horrible lemon squeezer.
- ritonlajoie 16y agoThat's the feeling I had before watching this video. Have you watched it already ? I'm pretty amazed by what he says even with my previous thoughts about him.
- wmeredith 16y agoI'm pretty sure Starck is a better marketer than designer. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
- joelmichael 16y agoHe's a designer, why doesn't he have any slides or other preparation for a TED talk? Does he put any effort into speaking English clearly? Why does he talk about that bogus lightning/primordial soup theory? Why is he attacking a straw man that we are the permanent pinnacle of evolution? Eight minutes in and he still hasn't said anything about design. I give up.
- ThomPete 16y agoThat talk is only about design! Do you know who Philippe Starck is?
- joelmichael 16y agoNo. Is it a pre-requisite that I know who he is in order to appreciate his TED talk? Because what I saw didn't stand very well on its own merit.
- ThomPete 16y agoif you are going to complain about the things you do I would say yes it is a pre-requisite.
- jroes 16y agoAnyone have a transcript? I tried, I really did.

- bearwithclaws 16y agoThis is interesting, not in a way that's easy to understand. A few of his keypoints are: - On Design: when designing something, think beyond (in fact, way beyond) the thing that you are designing. - On Living: the smart way to live is to build stuff for many people (the more the merrier). - On Civilization: do your best to fulfill your part.
- baby 16y agoCan't stand his accent, and I'm french...
- saint-loup 16y agoSame here. Maybe because it's not so different from my own english accent. :]
