Starck went on to study at the École Camondo in Paris, but was later quoted as saying that he “learned nothing” there and was, instead, driven by his own curiosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 1968, Starck set up his own studio in Paris, with a special focus on inflatable designs; he collaborated with the master of blow-up furniture, designer Quasar Khanh. The following year, Starck debuted an inflatable structure at Salon de l’Enfance and caught the attention of fashion designer Pierre Cardin, who straightaway offered him an art director position. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the mid to late 1970s, Starck found success designing nightclub interiors, like La Main Bleue in Montreuil and Les Bain Douches in Paris. As the 1980s neared, Starck launched a company called Starck Product—later named Ubik after the Philip K. Dick novel—and began producing furniture, lighting, and accessory designs for major manufacturers like \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pamono.com.au\/makers\/alessi\"\u003eAlessi\u003c\/a\u003e, Driade,  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pamono.com.au\/makers\/flos\"\u003eFlos\u003c\/a\u003e, Kartell, and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pamono.com.au\/makers\/vitra\"\u003eVitra\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1983, Starck’s international design celebrity began to build when French president François Mitterrand invited him to renovate the private apartments of the Élysée Palace. Not long after, Starck began to receive regular commissions for restaurant and hotel interiors. Highlights from this phase of his career include Café Costes in Paris (1984), Manin in Tokyo (1985), Theatron in Mexico City (1985), the Royalton (1988) and Paramount (1990) hotels in New York City, and the Delano Hotel in Miami Beach (1995). In 1999, Starck partnered with developer John Hitchcox to launch Yoo, a design firm dedicated to residential and commercial interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarck is arguably the most prolific designer living today, and any listing of his many iconic works must be abbreviated.
