In 1985 he established the furniture-making firm XO with Gerard Mialet. Some of his most popular pieces of furniture are the Costes chair, the Von Vogelsang chair and the Lord Yo chair, all for Driade, as well as the W. W. Stool for Vitra, the Prince Aha stool and the Ghost chair, both for Kartell.
Starck has also designed all sorts of housewares, from toothbrushes to toilet brushes. Two of his most famous designs are the Juicy Salif lemon squeeqer and the Hot Bertaa kettle.
When Philippe Starck was given the 2004 Lucky Strike Designer Award by the Raymond Loewy Foundation for his life's work, the jury justified their choice as follows: "Philippe Starck is probably the most unusual, quirkiest, and most exciting designer of the past twenty years and is likely to be for decades to come."

Huh, I spotted a lemon squeezer like that not too long ago but I just had NO idea what it was! Of course now I can't remember where I saw it. It had to be at a thrift store though. I remember asking the Girlfriend to look at it and asking her what she thought it was. She shrugged and we both just came to the conclusion that it was just a modern sculpture!

@Mr.Modtomic: Crazy, huh? I didn't know what it was the first time I saw it either.
