Quite the bargain, yes? SensoWash, the shower-toilet by Philippe Starck, includes a number of designer-appropriate features, including LED illumination, a wireless remote, three wash types including Read more

Have you ever dreamed about staying at a 15th-century monastery? While that wish may be reserved for prospective nuns and monks, a beautifully renovated monastery is another story altogether — especially one filled with incredible modern designs. With the intention of serving as a museum of contemporary 20th century design, Holland's Kruisherenhotel-Maastricht, consisting of the monastery as Read more

In radical reworking news, Philippe Starck has remade L'Air du Temps in his own image. It's a far cry from the pretty glass doves we're all used to, and its stark (haha) modernism might take some fans aback. A longtime L'Air du Temps wearer, Starck says he decided to take on the project because "there is no difference in making a rocket, a hotel, a motorbike, a museum or a fragrance because the Read more

While I may be a superfan of Philippe Starck's designs, that doesn't mean his furniture fits my budget — especially when you're shopping for not one but six dining chairs. For indoors or out, one of my favorites is Starck's polished recycled aluminum Kong Chair ($2,395), which he designed for Emeco. While the chairs are designed to last 150 years, and are virtually indestructible, I Read more

A big thank you to reader Baby Girl, who pointed out in the comments of my latest Guess the Gadget quiz that the gadget in question was featured in Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" video.

There's even a close-up of Gaga Read more

If I were to purchase every Philippe Starck design I've fallen for, I'd be bankrupt — in a killer house. I already do a good enough job spending money I don't have without the French superstar's help, so really there's got to be an easier way to achieve his design style. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so I doubt Starck would mind if I snatched up a stylish red lamp Read more
