Philippe Starck and Karl Lagerfeld Guest Edit Wallpaper*

Freaky or Fabulous: Lagerfeld's Wallpaper Cover

The publication literally has a "peelable" cover featuring Baptiste Giabiconi in Dior Homme which can be removed to reveal the other cover where he is naked! Starck has developed a new technology of paper allowing the cover to be constructed from three layers of tracing paper which has never before been used on a magazine.
Desire/Acquire: Philippe Starck's Miss K Table Lamp
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 inspired by his Miss K Table Lamp ($360, on sale for $288).
Philippe Starck's Louis Ghost Chair Gets a Makeover
Philippe Starck has no doubt had an influence on many areas of the design world, but he will never escape his Louis Ghost Chair. The 2002 design pared down the opulent Louis XVI chair and is as relevant, contemporary, and stylish today as it was seven years ago. Starck did try to reimagine it in a child size, the Lou Lou Ghost Chair, but Louis reigns supreme.
