BBC Two and Philippe Starck are teaming up for a brand new TV series to find the next great British designer.
Internationally renowned designer Starck will be heading up a specially created School of Design in Paris.
Ten aspiring designers with the talent, drive and vision to create the next ‘must have’ products of the 21st Century will be given the unique opportunity to learn and work alongside Starck and his team over a period of several months.
Selection
A shortlist of the most promising applicants will be invited to Paris to be interviewed by Philippe, after which he will select the ten who will be offered a place at the school.
Opportunity of a lifetime ((("Hey! Weren't you one of those sorry losers who thought he was a designer?")))
At the end of the series Philippe Starck will decide whom he wants to become part of his 'tribe' - the chance to stay on in Paris working in his office for a further six months.
What we are looking for (((Besides dewy youth and raw gullibility, I reckon)))
Production Company Twofour Broadcast is looking for applications from people from all walks of life; you don’t have to have had any formal training, it’s all about catching Philippe’s eye and convincing him your designs can change the way we live – for the better. A background in drawing or a creative industry could be helpful – but we are just as interested in hearing from people who are passionate about design or have a strong visual sense....
