Yves Behar: Designing objects that tell stories



Yves insisted that the design is not about designing the skin to suit the technology. Design shall be designing the skin as well as the inside, the body and function. We have to ensure that the function of the object is useful and user friendly, it shall not just purely be an extra function. So design shall be working from the inside out, to bring the most unique, comfortable feeling and best visual experience to the final user.

Yves believe on being original and unique to give a new experiment on the design. For example, the mini cooper watch that Yves designed, the display of the watch can change to vertical and horizontal just by moving your hand. Another example is the 100 dollars laptop. Yves had help in designing this affordable laptop for children in developing country, so this laptop has an attractive appearance and useful function of a real laptop.

Also, the design has no boundary; it can go to any type of products. Yves has design a condemn distributor machine which is catchy, streamline, comfortable and easy to use.

Just like what Yves had said, “If we keep in mind the value of the work we do, we can change the work we do, we can change these value, we can change the company we work with and eventually, together maybe we can change the world.”
