Task 5: Video Reflections - Yves Behar

Yves Behar questions those things that people usually take for granted, such as the num lock key on the keyboard and says "does it really need to be there?". This designs really does show and make his products more user friendly such as "the leaf lamp" where he gives some choice on the lamp where you can adjust the "feeling" of the lamp with a touch of a button.

He emphasises that objects can tell many stories, such that as designers will need to predit and what story your product will tell. Even though that the product may do all this and that but we need to take into consideration that do we actually need it or is it just a novalty item.

I realise that designing a product may not be all about the looks and functionality of the product but also how userfriendly it is and also if it can be made unique to each and every person in the world. So after watching this i would try and "GET SOME"
