Meet the Design Board

Philippe Starck (co-chairman)

Our co-chairman and the enfant terrible of design, Starck has changed the landscapes of many of the world’s major cities, with projects such as the Mondrian in Los Angeles, the Peninsula restaurant in Hong Kong and even a waste recycling plant in Paris. Winner of the illustrious Grand Prix for Design award, no toothbrush, door handle or salad bowl is left unturned in Starck’s mission to improve our physical world.

Kelly Hoppen

Winner of the 2007 European Women Award for Entrepreneurship, Kelly Hoppen’s pared down style has moved out of the field of Interior design, and into a collection of paints, carpets, and ceramics as well as a successful diffusion line on the high street for BHS. Those looking to recreate the Hoppen clean lines, which have been applied to aircraft interiors, restaurants and apartments, can take inspiration from her latest book Kelly Hoppen Home (£30).

Marc Newson

Sydney bred and based Newson encapsulates modern design for many. His collaborations with manufactures such as Flos, Cappellini, Moroso and Alessi brought his vision into the wider public arena. Those who love his vision can travel on the aircraft he designed for Qantas Airways, then call friends on the mobile phone he created for Japan’s KDDI to discuss his ranges for Nike and G-Star. They can even toast his success with a magnum of champagne from Dom Perignon, sat cooling in its bucket designed by… guess who?
