INTRODUCTION I have selected two pieces designed by Philippe Starck those being the " W.W " stool (1990 ) and the lemon squeezer " Juicy Salif " (1990 ) . I selected Starck because of its interesting designs, the fact that it is his own unique concept. The many different ways it can be perceived and interpreted by another individual. Having not come across such a unique stool before it causes you to be more aware of different styles. The stool is similar to other works by the same designer. My second choice was the "Juicy Salif " one reason was the whole idea of changing the regularity of what I understood to be a lemon squeezer . As with the stool it is defying convention in a way, breaking away into its own category. The shape greatly interested me, the fact that it is different from anything I had seen before.
