modern design is about taking something perfect & making it less so. the lemon squeezer was already invented...all starck did was make a functional object LESS FUNCTIONAL. modern design, like modern art, is about creating a need that does not exist in order to make money...something starck has done very well. his comments are typically french...superficially controversial but without weight. retire now, sell your many homes, distribute the huge wealth you have accrued amoungst the needy & live the simple life you claim only to need.

I agree with the first comment that the two year millestone sounds a bit off with the rest of the comments (which I like and agre with, and respect).
Why not today?
If Mr. Starck realizes that design is useless and he is just pushing useless materialism then why doesn't he retire today? Does he still have some more last minute junk he needs to push out the door?
