“Objectified” Design Documentary Streaming for Free for the Next Six Days

Running out of things to watch during the lockdown? Filmmaker Gary Hustwit has thoughtfully made his design documentaries free to screen–for a limited time. Every seven days he “unlocks” one, and for this week (March 24th to 31st) it’s “Objectified,” his product-design-focused video from 2009.

Objectified (2009, 75 minutes) is a documentary film about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. What can we learn about who we are, and who we want to be, from the objects with which we surround ourselves? With Paola Antonelli, Chris Bangle, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Tim Brown, Dunne & Raby, IDEO, Naoto Fukasawa, Jonathan Ive, Hella Jongerius, Marc Newson, Dieter Rams, Karim Rashid, Alice Rawsthorn, Smart Design, Jane Fulton Suri, Rob Walker and more.
