Philippe Starck makes textiles debut

Rumour has it that the enigmatic designer arrived by private jet to present ‘Starck by Fletco’, a collection created exclusively for the Danish flooring manufacturer.

The innovative range includes tiles in different designs, where individual figures, icons and patterns can be combined freely in 12 colours, making them a perfect choice for creative architects and interior designers who want to add an extra dimension to the sensory expression of their work.

Starck has also provided an option to incorporate other materials, such as brushed aluminium, wood, glass, steel and even Nanolight into the tiles, which are made from Antron® carpet fibres.

Despite his wealth of experience with interior and industrial design, this is the first time that Philippe Starck has worked with textiles.

Starck describes the “magical” range as: “A collection of squares, like the letters of a novel or the notes of a symphony which give you infinite possibilities to create styles, drawings, compositions, colours… your own score, your own work of art. And what’s more, it's easy. Magical squares for my friends, particularly my architect friends.”
