HRS BY STARCK is an ultra-modern refueling station designed with the very essence of hydrogen in mind to put a transparent aesthetic in the spotlight.
Designed by French designer Philippe Starck for Hydrogen Refueling Solutions, the station has a mirrored finish on the main body alongside a see-through section where drivers can see the internal workings. This puts nothing in the spotlight to convey the clean nature of hydrogen and takes an ultra-artistic approach to the process of refueling a vehicle.
Starck himself commented on the HRS BY STARCK saying, "Hydrogen is clean; it is nothingness, an ether. It is obvious that the HRS BY STARCK hydrogen refueling stations had to be dematerialized. No style or design, for an object that has already disappeared like everything intelligent that exists."
