according to behar, a designers work is never done.
he aims to bring values to design, and believes that these values create some semblance of a soul for the design, and by extension, the company the design is intended for.
with the jawbone headset, behar tried to streamline the technological aspects to make it as humanistic and beautiful as possible - for if something is not beautiful, it does not belong on your face.
i thought behar had some lovely ideas, about the role visual cues play in peoples interactions with design, such as in his work with new york condom dispensers, and the need to create from the inside out, but perhaps my favourite idea of his was to design a system of symmetrical drinking bottles that doubled as a stackable construction game, encouraging childrens enjoyment of a healthy new beverage.
behar believes that by shaping values in design and taking a more humanistic approach, we may one day be able to shape and change the world - what a nice thought.
