Philippe Starck takes HTML5 overboard

Dedon is a prestige outdoor furniture maker, the kind that can pay people like Philippe Starck  and Bruce Weber to design and film for them. And their website pulls a pretty hefty punch in terms of HTML5 .

Have a poke around the web special with Phillipe Starck. There are some really quirky and playful ideas in it. Despite Starck’s slightly annoying ‘nossing existe wisout luve’ designer shtick. Check out the Dedon website here.

At the same time I always hear the web designers and developers in the back yelling “Look Ma, no flash!”. Which strangely leads me to the question: have we reached the equivalent of ‘flashturbation’? And if so, what is it called?
