Design for Life

This T.V series is a great insight into design and design philosophy. It shows the journey design novices and students take under the influence of Phillipe Starck. it was a very interesting show for me as a student designer myself being able to watch as Starck gives insights and advice to people not so different from myself in terms of design experience.
Starck wanted his design ethics to rub off on the young designers and he wanted to teach them about the importance of good design. Starck wanted the young designers to put themselves fully into their design projects and tasks and think beyond the physical and aesthetics of a product, but to the language and emotional attatchments that a product can hold to a consumer. Starck was very strong on sustainability, but also hammered into the students his hatred of useless products, products that should have never been made in the first place.
Overall it was a very insightful and interesting show, and it was great to get a look at a rawer Phillip Starck and his design philosophies
