In a bizarr-o interview (possibly made more so by the fact it was in a German magazine), designer Philippe Starck expressed all the self-disgust and fatalism of a person who needs a career change or a very long vacation. Starck declared that “design is dead,” that nothing he ever did (not even his ridiculous robot juice squeezer, evidently) has ever meant anything and that the design industry is destined to disappear altogether. “In future there will be no more designers. The designers of the future will be the personal coach, the gym trainer, the diet consultant,” he said nonsensically. I’m not exactly sure what this is supposed to mean, but I look forward to watching that trend emerge.
