philippe starck: lacie hard drives



french designer philippe starck has completed his latest collaboration with the computer peripheral
company lacie. starck first designed a series of hard dives for the company in the nineties. the latest
hard drive designs come in two sizes for mobile and desktop use. both feature a thick aluminum casing
that envelopes a reflective organic form on the inside. the mobile version has an ellipse form, while the
larger desktop model is rectangular and additionally features starck’s signature plus sign in an orange
LED. both feature a special surface which upon touching will launch the application of your choosing,
depending on the duration of the tap. the desktop model comes in 1tb and 2tb versions while the smaller
mobile hard drive boasts 320gb and 500gb capacities.

These would be a lot more attractive without the giant Lacie/Starck branding stamped into the side.
Justin   10.12.09
Agreed, the logo makes me run the other way. No thanks!
MK   10.12.09
Geez... could that logo be any BIGGER?
jermu   10.12.09
I'm all but POSITIVE Philippe had nothing to do with that logo decision. (Gosh... I hope not).
jermu   10.12.09
The logo needs to be smaller!
EeroSaarenein   10.12.09
This logo is perfect. Reflecting exactly the image of the marketing consultant that design it. Bravo Philippe.
Poetti   10.13.09
just another ugly philippe's creature...and another confirmation that he really is a bad designer!
a.d.k.v   10.13.09
Brand design!
Napoleon Dynamite   10.13.09
Only interesting piece of fesign is hard disk light. This looks like big experiment, like, let`s took rock from the street an put the Stark logo on it, it would be sold out for a week.
Denis   10.13.09
I sink, with ziss idee, we could be in the dip sheet.
herc   10.13.09
them is so ugly they is fugly
winjer   10.13.09
nice but the connectors could be more arranged considering geometric proportions...
menosketiago   10.14.09
If its ugly or not...it realy doesnt matter, couse everyone have his own taste...I think the important is that it is a different drive and it will appear more than the others on the shopps shelves.
Fred   10.14.09
nothing spezial about his "design"...
me   10.15.09
egoist
or is it
egotist ?
