TEDTalks [electronic resource] : Yves Behar - Creating Objects that Tell Stories / TED Conferences LLC.

Summary:

Over the past decade, Yves Behar and his firm fuseproject have become the design group that companies turn to for a game-changing idea. Take the reinvention of the Bluetooth Jawbone headset, the reinvigoration of the venerable but dowdy Birkenstock line, and Behar's Leaf lamp for Herman Miller. He has also produced the XO laptop for the One Laptop per Child project, a quirky but heartfelt concept that encapsulates much of his recent work - fusing sought-after design with a mission of social responsibility. In this TEDTalk, Behar digs up his creative roots to discuss some of the iconic objects he's created and introduces some of the witty, surprising, and elegant objects he's working on now.
