Philippe Starck
The French designer and architect is internationally known for bringing the perfect blend of wit and elegance to everything from furniture to interiors. He sought out Heller to collaborate on Excalibur because he knew it could design the technology and special molds required for his design. Featuring a sword-like handle that protects the user’s hand and a tapered wand capped with a nylon brush, Excalibur looks like a flower from outer space when it’s unsheathed. In 2000, Excalibur was added to the permanent collection at MoMA.
