Yves Behar: Creating objects that tell stories


 

A very useful aspect of design is to create things that transforms and under-goes changes as you use it. Instead of just colourising the outer layer of a product, designers must also reach into the thinking for the use of the product after it has served its main purpose, just like Yves Behar’s “Y water” which turns the packaging of kids water into a toy. It is also about creating value, such as environmental issues and low powering consumption to certain objects and being able to bring these values to certain people. 

 

Yves Behar also brings to us a the idea that a design will never be in its true complete form, therefore the work of a designer is never complete, as design is ever-improving, ever-changing and always transforming. But most importantly if we all work together on creating value and keeping in mind the value of the work we do, “together we may change the world”.
