Dezeen Agenda features an interview with French designer Philippe Starck

The latest edition of our weekly Dezeen Agenda newsletter features an interview with Philippe Starck at Milan design week. Subscribe to Dezeen Agenda now.

In an interview at this year's Milan Design Week, Dezeen asked Philippe Starck whether design is becoming increasingly associated with luxury, given the strong presence of luxury brands.

"There is a very, very dangerous slip to luxe, a lack of ethics, a lack of culture, definitely, and too-fast rotation in the consuming of design because it's trendy", Starck said.

This week's newsletter also features Foster + Partners' design for the Saudi Arabia pavilion at Expo 2025, a look at three new structures unveiled at this year's Coachella and a series of colourful children's sculptures by Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa.
