Renown French designer Philippe Starck says he has been working with Apple on a revolutionary project which will emerge in 8 months, reports HardMac.

The comments were made in an interview to France-Info radio and to the newspaper Le Figaro. Starck didn't reveal any more details; however, his statement will likely revive rumors of an Apple television.

HardMac suggests perhaps he has been working on a new remote:

If we had to bet, we would put our money on the revolutionary remote control that will be associated with the future Apple TV set. This is particularly in this area that innovation in design and ergonomic are needed, and Starck and his team are known for that.

Interestingly, Starck also reveals that he regularly met with Steve Jobs.
