Designers

PHILIPPE STARCK

Philippe Starck needs no introduction.
The “enfant terrible” of the design world not only sets tongues wagging with his numerous creations – design products, interiors, hotels – but also with his appearances in public. However, at the end of the day, his design work is a statement, a message to the world.

PHOENIX DESIGN

Form follows emotion: The concept of Phoenix Design is as easy as it is natural. The group of designers around Andreas Haug and Tom Schonherr has won the Lucky Strike Award and focuses on people in all its creations. Whether it is a drinking glass, a TV or a bathroom fitting, everything that emerges from the Phoenix Design studios in Stuttgart or Tokyo is fun.

PATRICIA URQUIOLA

Patricia Urquiola’s creations are vivid, sensuous and they live on memories. They embody a harmonious mix that lends their design a very special magic. Inspired by daily life and the individual nature of people, her works are an imaginative source of enrichment for every personal living space.

ANTIONIO CITTERIO

In his work as a designer, he Antonio makes the room the focus of his creative activity. In a virtuoso way, he crosses the boundaries between the form and function of an object and strikes a harmonious chord between tradition and innovation. With the Axor Citterio collection he has re-defined the bathroom. An architect above all? Certainly, but with many years of experience in product design!

JEAN-MARIE MASSAUD

Born in 1966 in Toulouse, France, Jean-Marie Massaud attended the renowned school “Les Ateliers”, Ecole Nationale Superieure de Creation Industrielle in Paris. Whether it is a sofa, an exhibition stand or a football stadium, in all his works Jean-Marie Massaud is pursuing the trace to our origins. The same applies in the bathroom. In order to fulfil the harmony between man, nature and technology the bathroom must become a living space, a space where we feel good.

SIEGER DESIGN

Inspiration is the be all and end all. Appropriately, the sanitaryware products conceived by Dieter Sieger for Duravit since the early eighties – when creativity still stopped at the bathroom door – are designed at a moated castle. Here at Schloss Harkotten, his two sons have gradually taken over the helm: designer Michael and manager Christian have broadened the horizons of Sieger Design and today create full-service design and marketing concepts for such clients as Ritzenhoff, Arzberg or WMF.
