Starck 1 - We need to stop and think about the basic facts of life. A statement of somebody whose design provides answers instead of easy affirmations. For his bathrooms series, Strack delves deeper. He's interested in matter per se, not in the matter of fact. Essence is the consequence. Getting back to basics. A cliche, certainly. But also, a philosophy, a principle of life and design. The bathroom by Starck 1.
Philippe Starck’s design searches for the origin of things.
The simple, natural, fundamental elements of life. With his Starck 1 range, he achieved just that… and almost immediately wrote bathroom history. With Starck 1, Philippe Starck and Duravit have returned to the beginnings of hygiene, body care and wellness in addition to the evolution of the bathroom. The Starck 1 toilet, bathtub and washbasin are unmistakable descendents of their historic predecessors – the bucket, tub and washbowl – even though they have been completely reinterpreted. It’s great to know that something good doesn’t have to be “optimized”: since their market launch in 1994, all products in the range – ceramic, furniture, tubs, accessories – have been meticulously crafted by hand using the same methods. This quality is nothing less than you would expect from a modern classic like Starck 1.
