Philippe Starck has two recent
industrial designs that have made their way into relatively wide usage. The first is a
motorcycle for the Italian manufacturer
Aprilia called the
Motó 6.5. Its flushed, rounded form and flowing circular lines create a stunning balance that impressed the curators of "
The Art of the Motorcycle" exhibit enough to have it included in their showcase of
classic motorcycles.
His other design is on a smaller scale, a wristwatch for the Fossil company. Here again, Starck incorporates the smooth form that he used on the motorcycle with the circumvolution inherent in a wristwatch's watchband. The face of the watch is rectangular, it's LCD digits are bold and geometric and blend in harmony with the parallel edges of the band.
