Design for Life - Episode 5

Design students compete for a six-month placement at Philippe Starck's design agency. In the previous episode there were eight students, now only four remain. As those left set out to meet Starck's model maker, the man who will finally turn their ideas into reality, the students must put the legacy of the previous week's cull behind them. While friendships have been broken, their chance of winning the opportunity to work with one of the world's greatest designers is now twice as good. But the man who has transformed Starck's ideas into working models for the past twenty years is a hard man to please. None of the students escape his critical eye, but in particular he destroys the central mechanism for Trevor's idea, before telling Ilsa she must start again. He gives the students 48 hours to make all the necessary changes or risk losing the opportunity of working with him.
