After we posted about the Philip T. Starck house last week we received a comment with an amazing offer from a Starck descendant, pictures of the interior from the family archives! To say we were thrilled would be an understatement. So what follows are snaps taken by the Starck’s daughter who was an amateur photographer. We are so grateful for the opportunity to share these images with all of you out there in the wide web world.

And of course a piano. The Starcks built this house with the income they derived from the P.A. Starck Piano Company which was founded by Philip’s father. It was one of four in the house.
