In a recent interview with the Financial Times, Philippe Starck named “24 Hours: The Starck Mix” as one of his favorite things.
Soundwalk designed the mix as a gift for the designer mixing 24 hours of music, voices, and ambient sound. In October 09, Starck was invited as a guest editor of Wallpaper* and, in association with Soundwalk & Clicmobile, made the “24 Hours: The Starck Mix” public as an ephemeral iPhone application and webradio available for one month only.
Check out the Financial Times interview to read more about what makes Philippe Starck happy: cast-iron fireplaces, mahogany, the Louis Ghost chairs, his wife, phantasmagoria…and keep an eye out for Soundwalk’s upcoming performance with Philippe Starck in Paris next month.

With the melody humming through the air, your mind reflects upon the hunt through Belleville she just led you in the hopes of being reunited with Spleen.
