Phillippe Starck is one of the most widely known designers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, working across a wide range of projects including interiors, products, even boats and spaceships. His often-fanciful work epitomizes the intersection of art and design. His Smoki Christiani Corkscrew from 1986 employs his signature horn shape and – with its stand – is as much sculpture as kitchen device. In the collection of The Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.
