Did anyone catch part one of this t'other day? I think the thread about the Dutch slag burning chairs is interconnected somewhat. Starck is a greater nuisance than a barbed dildo.

No, but I don't necessarily disagree with the premise. Starck himself admitted (in the Guardian I think) that British design doesn't necessarily need a leg up.
My issue is the fact that most of the talented British designers end up working for non-British companies. I.e. Jasper Morrison, Ross Lovegrove, David Chipperfield, Sebastian Wrong, etc.
The plan for my new venture is to restore the balance somewhat. And Tom - if you have any sofa and/or lounge chair ideas then I would be very keen to see them! If you've got something that fits what I'm planning then perhaps we can come to some arrangement...

I just can't stomach the vive la difference shit with the 'he's a modern genius'. He's no more a genius than 15 Peter 20 who clearly isn't.
Yoss, I'll send you a pm in the morrow. Working on a few interesting things at the moment and planning to do a bit more work in the furniture department. Hope you're well buddy.

Just watched a piece on Starck on Fashion TV and a woman said "I think he's a genius". Why do people think this about shit furniture!?
