Overheard: Philippe Starck Speaks Truth

“Today, we see very talented, intelligent designers who use their skills to create useless products, which are developed not to help people but to put money in the pocket of companies, and to take money out of the pocket of a “target consumer.” It’s a very cynical way to work, and done with greed and no respect. We need to design things that are more ecological, more social.

And, yes, we need to produce less.”

-Philippe Starck in Wired magazine
