Radios and Electronics: Starck Time and Weather Station
Design meets technology in this collaboration between Philippe Starck and Oregon Scientific. The Starck Time and Weather Station is a new combination of style and function. It includes innovative functions such as precision timing with a clock that automatically sets itself to the official U.S. atomic clock, accurate to one millionth of a second. Its cleanly partitioned LCD display features a bold time indication, and includes date, current indoor and outdoor temperature, barometric pressure with trend, humidity, moon phase, and easily recognizable icons to indicate the weather forecast for the next 12 to 24 hours. The time can be projected on a wall or ceiling, and users can choose from seven melodies for the two-minute crescendo alarm with snooze function. The digital AM/FM radio has a 16-station memory with sleep timer.
Originally a nightclub designer in the 1970s, Philippe Starck became widely known in the 1980s for projects ranging from the French president’s private headquarters to the Café Costes in Paris. When he made his curvybacked, spikelegged chair the centerpiece of design for the café in 1984, both chair and café became famous overnight. He is also known for interiors, such as the Royalton and Paramount hotels in New York and for product designs including furniture for Kartell, Driade, and Flos crystal for Daum cutlery for Sasaki and domestic wares for Alessi.
