Design has nothing to do with fashion. Philippe Starck is an artist not a designer. He has made some interesting products, OK, but maybe he should think a little bit more! There’s such a lot of things. Such a lot of unusable things. Most things are unnecessary and overdone. Look around. We cannot send to the Third World all the garbage we don’t need any more. We have to go back to more simplicity, longevity.
