We’re big fans of Jonathan Ive here at MacUser. Apple’s industrial design senior VP is legendary for his clean, elegant, award-winning designs. But you knew that.
What you might not know is that Jony Ive himself is being interviewed for the upcoming documentary Objectified, set to premiere early next year. The film is directed by Gary Hustwit, who’s known around these parts for directing Helvetica, which explored typography and graphic design.
But what is Objectified going to be about, you ask?
Objectified is a documentary about industrial design; it’s about the manufactured objects we surround ourselves with, and the people who make them. On an average day, each of us uses hundreds of objects. (Don’t believe it? Start counting: alarm clock, light switch, faucet, shampoo bottle, toothbrush, razor…) Who makes all these things, and why do they look and feel the way they do?
Note: “Filmografied” is unfortunately not a real word. “Objectified”, on the other hand, is.
