Philippe Starck’s MyWorld is the ultimate lounge system for geeks

philippe-starck-lounge-system-1 Designer Philippe Starck is renowned in the world of luxury. His creative works are widely acclaimed and known for its uniqueness. His newest creation is a lounge system created in partnership with Italian furniture company Cassina. Starck calls his new work, MyWorld. In his words, he describes the lounge as: “MyWorld is a cocoon, a nest, a world where we can be egocentric and comfortably commune with our own shadow or collect some snatches of news from the world.” MyWorld follows a minimalist design like the 2013 Aston Martin sofa collection.

Although being a place to cozy up, the lounge also accommodates the leisure of ‘staying connected’, that is, one can charge their mobile phones and gadgetries through the hidden plug-ins provided in the lounge system.

With this news, aren’t we somehow reminded of the burning episode that a Birkin suffered sometime last year? Continue reading “A Hermes Birkin bag gets a graffiti makeover to up its exclusivity” »
