Video Reflection 3: Creating Objects That Tell Stories - Yves Behar

Yves Behar strives for greater human interaction with products. He has made it his personal mission to create objects that not only look nice, but interact with the user in a natural and provoking manner. He mentions that 'the design is never finished', this ethos illustrates his effort and the amount of thought he brings forth through his designs.

Behar says 'he did not want to be a stylist' and instead wishes to 'design things from the inside out'. This is very clear in the designs he demonstrated in the video. The Jawbone & Leaf Lamp projects in particular were involving concepts which saw his design team not only change the way we interact with the products, but develop the technology alongside to create a synergy within the product itself. The Leaf Lamp imparts a closer user interaction with an otherwise mundane object, while the Jawbone has been sexified to make it more appealing to the fashion conscious consumer.
