Yves Behar: Designing objects that tell stories



Through watching this video, it became very clear to me that the main idea that Yves Behar was trying to create was a sense of value within every aspect of our lives. Albeit in the initial stages of design development, to the workplace, or even in our everyday use of objects. There is always a pigment of value in different forms. What Yves was trying to convey in this video, in my opinion was that he wanted to merge all of these values, or as much values as he could, in every aspect of design, in order to create one single greater value which ties everything together, which in essence could eventually change the world.


I learnt that from watching this video, there were so many technological advances within the design world that it still amazes me that we as humans are even capable of designing such wonderful products. The jaw bone bluetooth earpiece was particularly one of my favourites, as I particularly liked the idea of the device detecting the users jaw bone movement, and which in turn will automatically perceive this action as a user talking on the headset, and so the device automatically blocks out all external noises to help in providing clear conversations.


Industrial designers could particularly benefit from watching this video as it shows designers to not only thing about the ‘skin’ or the outside appearance of the object, but however think about the merging of technology, along with the values attached to using this product, and trying to link it to a single, larger value which ties all similar objects and values together, in order to provide a more exciting and promising lifestyle in the future to come.
