Picking up the story of design from the drab days of the late 70s, the final episode tracks the explosion of wild creativity that defined the 'designer decades' of the 80s and early 90s. By addressing wants rather than needs and allying themselves to the blatant consumerism of 'retail culture' designers emerged from the backrooms to claim a starring role in the shaping of modern life. Designers also played a decisive role in making the world-changing power of computer and digital technology available to the masses through the design of keyboards, the mouse and the 'desktop'. And now, with concerns growing daily about our insatiable appetite for 'stuff', designers are also offering new ideas about sustainable consumption for the future.
Featuring Philippe Starck, Marc Newson, Jonathan Ive and Stephen Fry.
我們是人類,并非機(jī)器,面對(duì)產(chǎn)品的第一反應(yīng)是情緒,而情緒又源于自身的欲望。
馬克?紐森:我開始進(jìn)行設(shè)計(jì)時(shí),會(huì)把產(chǎn)品親手做出來,做兩到三個(gè),我只能負(fù)擔(dān)起這幾個(gè)的花費(fèi),但我總想將設(shè)計(jì)用于大規(guī)模生產(chǎn),對(duì)一個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)師來說我想那是終極目標(biāo)。
1987年10月19日,股票崩潰,規(guī)模空前,英國經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退,在瑞典的沃靈頓,一家新的家具店開張了。介紹給英國革命性的零售體驗(yàn)。它的座右銘是“民主設(shè)計(jì)”。
想要成為宜家的設(shè)計(jì)師,不僅要把產(chǎn)品設(shè)計(jì)的很好,還必須是平坦的,并能裝進(jìn)一個(gè)棕色的盒子,從而方便銷售。
宜家的創(chuàng)始人參觀了米蘭的設(shè)計(jì)展,他喜歡的是家具,卻討厭價(jià)格。他誓言要把設(shè)計(jì)民主化,削減設(shè)計(jì)成本。
喬納森?艾弗:我們嘗試設(shè)計(jì)一種產(chǎn)品,而它秒在你不認(rèn)為它們幾乎被設(shè)計(jì)過,它們只是解決一個(gè)問題,但是在解決這個(gè)問題后,它們并沒有去提醒這個(gè)可怕的復(fù)雜性挑戰(zhàn),而這恰恰是一個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)師所要面對(duì)的。作為一名用戶,我不想被提醒這是一個(gè)艱難的問題,因?yàn)槟鞘窃O(shè)計(jì)師的工作,我希望這個(gè)產(chǎn)品能達(dá)到我的目的。
“搖籃到搖籃”的設(shè)計(jì),是指一個(gè)產(chǎn)品的零部件和材料,所有這一切都是完全無毒,能夠被無限重復(fù)使用。如果所有的產(chǎn)品都被這樣設(shè)計(jì),我們整個(gè)世界可能會(huì)被一遍又一遍的產(chǎn)生和復(fù)制,而不需要新的材料。這種“搖籃到搖籃”的設(shè)計(jì)讓人們不必通過削減使用材料來做環(huán)保,我們可以慶祝自己的消費(fèi),因?yàn)椴]有做破壞這個(gè)世界的事。
