D&AD President's Award goes to Philippe Starck
LONDON: Internationally acclaimed designer Philippe Starck was presented with the 2006 D&AD President's Award last night, Wednesday 24 May 2006, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the world of creativity.
Starck, as famous for his expressionist architecture as his revolutionary approach to the design of a lemon squeezer, was presented the award by D&AD president Dick Powell at the D&AD Global Awards - the most prestigious ceremony in the world for creative practitioners - in London.
"This year, the D&AD President's Award goes to someone with uncompromising creative standards," said Powell. "Someone who has made a difference. Someone who revels in the provocative and who regularly raises a finger to the creative establishment. Someone who consistently polarises opinions and fractures expectations. Philippe Starck is a visionary creative force who has already gone down in history."
The D&AD President's Award was first presented in 1976 to Coin Millward of CDP. Visit www.dandad.org/awards/presidents-award.html for a full list of past recipients.
