Yves Behar: Designing objects that tell stories



Yves Behar was the speaker in the video this week and he spoke about how in every design it is important to view the product from both the inside and the outside, not only the skin as he describe it. In the Jawbone headset Yves and his team of designers work tirelessly on both the looks and the electronical parts of the design, the were able to change the technical and electronic bits of the product by using cads and other associated product. This shows that his ideology is one that products needs to be both aesthetically good and perfectly functional to give value to the product
"Values creates soul in company"
Another good example of his ideology is shown on the sworsvki crystal light that continiously change shapes depending on the directed shape projected to the bottom scree, Yves has design this inside out to perfection once again to give value and perfection to this product.

This video has helped me to realise that a good design must cover both the aesthetic and the function part in order to be a succesful product, I must also consider every aspect of my design from the biggest to the smallest detail. For example In the leaf lamp in which Yves has built, he has also designed and considered the light bulb to make it more environmentally friendly.
