Design for Life

This reality TV show shines a light on design practice and show the difficulties chanllenges and realities of successful product design. I think there are some key things to take away from this program and that is the way in which Phillipe Starck interacts with the designers and tips that he gives them along the way. Firstly Starck gives the opportuinity for the designers to express their views and then proceeds to comment on their work, he does not work with people who are lazy and that is another important statement that even though a product may be redesigned only a lazy designer would conform to aesthetic of the former product and its language along with that. Starck can also admit to making mistakes and finally starck associates intelligence with elegance as opposed to aesthetics with intelligence.
