Objectified

Objectified is a rather dated, but still interesting documentary about objects and their importance in our society. One of the main things that I remember from the film is the absolute genius of the plastic, practically disposable chair that is made out of one piece that it could be made in one mold. One machine clamps coat closed, and in the next second the man pulls out a chair. Everywhere you will see this chair in different designs but the key is one piece of plastic, one single mold. Sometimes it's not the most beautiful design that wins. But the most utilitarian reminded me a lot of my visit to the Design Museum in Cologne, where I saw fantastic chairs, tables and other early design objects as well as an IBM Selectric typewriter, an iPod, an iMac and other objects that I have once owned. Design is important in our life. Look at the rounded corners of the phone you're holding. I enjoyed objectified
