Starck goes for reality

September 22, 2009

Philippe Starck has turned into an educator. The infamous designer best known for his work from the 80s and early 90s, has his own reality show, Design for Life, on The BBC, where he takes unknown talent and puts them through the typical competitive twists and turns.

The winning prize, a 6 month internship at this Paris studio.

It’s clear from the onset that Starck is not interested in the obvious and literal, he’s searching for creative leaps and insight. Surprisingly, this appears to be lacking from many of the show’s contestants.
