Objectified
Documentary · 2009
A feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them.
The sides of Objectified
- Designers explaining everyday objects
- Chairs, phones and toothbrushes up close
- Questions about what we buy and throw away
Objectified is good for you if…
- you like hearing designers like Dieter Rams explain their choices.
- you enjoy looking at well-made objects in clean, careful shots.
- you want to see the objects on your desk differently.
Objectified is bad for you if…
- you need characters with a story, not a gallery of designers and their products.
- you want something to happen rather than people talking about design.
