Opening of the exhibition: ‘Philippe Starck. The duty of Creativity’

On 5 February, the Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP) will inaugurate an exhibition dedicated to the work of Philippe Starck, entitled ‘Philippe Starck. The Duty of Creativity’, at the Amélia de Mello Foundation Gallery, at the Catolica headquarters in Lisbon, at 6:30pm.

Philippe Starck,, world famous creator with multifaceted inventiveness, is always focused on the essential, his vision: that creation, whatever form it takes, must improve the lives of as many people as possible. This philosophy has made him one of the pioneers and central figures of the concept of “democratic design”.

By employing his prolific work across all domains, from everyday products (furniture, a citrus squeezer, electric bikes, an individual wind turbine), to architecture (hotels, restaurants that aspire to be stimulating places) and naval and spatial engineering (mega yachts, space habitation module), he continually pushes the boundaries and requirements of design, becoming one of the most visionary and renowned creators of the international contemporary scene.
