Philippe Starck at David Sutherland

The Philippe Starck Collection for Sutherland Teak that we hinted at last year is here. David Sutherland is introducing it at his Los Angeles showroom next month at West Week, and we’ll see it in Dallas later in the spring. What I loved hearing, is what a nice guy Starck really is. When Sutherland said he wanted to heavily promote Starck’s name, he very modestly said non. “Half the people in the world love me, the other half hate me, you must promote the Sutherland name.” When was the last time you heard a design rock star like that not want center stage?
