Yves Behar : Creating Objects That Tell Stories



Yves Behar is an amazing designer who can think out side of the box. He is not just a designer who cares about the external beauty

 but see the whole and engage into the entire process. He refused to only design the skin of a keyboard and I wanted to be involved making entire unit.

Behar thinks out side of the box and bre

aks the boundary. His watch for mini cooper can be read from the either horizontal and vertical way. I thought it will be useful when someone asks for the time. Behar’s transforming furniture is also a very interesting design. it can be fold flat, into a coffee table and a chair. He designs an ordinary objects into clever object and it shows that how design can effect the ordinary life.

Behar’s experimentation of the design reaches everywhere. His design is for everyone including child, adult and even for people who can not afford designer brand. ‘one laptop for a child project’ shows that his values is not just on the beauty but it is one the global issues. The laptop is 100$ and it is made for children in developing countries.

Behar mentions about value a lot in this video. Behar fought against suppliers and  manufacturer for what he believes and never give up his design. He believes that if we ‘work together creating value keep in mind, it can change the work, company and the world’.
