Philippe Starck: Why design?

the bigger comes thicker and thicker!
I mean how will an ipod nano look in 10 years keeping the same options?
it will come thicker, maybe his size will be divide by 3, ...
it's still design but I really think that one day technology will permit us to have that's what I was tryign to point
I know there will always be designers, we need them I was exagerating a lil bit, i'm not crazy

caceta, que lixo de ingrêis!
não entendi lhufas!
sou nota máxima no TOEFL com meu poor english.
vaipa!

Microsoft don't know anything about uncluttered interfaces that they haven't learned from Apple's success, that's why they can't sell the Zune.
Nevertheless, if you can't see the amount of design that has gone into the products in the video you mentioned, then you are a lost cause.

I only see beautiful interfaces, and a lot of thick surfaces
and yes I know it's a project but microsoft or not, that's what I see when I'm talking about the future of design, these thick tactile surfaces with well designed interfaces are already here

But the fact that it is so simple is purely BECAUSE apple have invested so much money into it's design. Look at the original iPod, then compare it with the current model. Jonathan Ive and his team have been working hard DESIGNING to make the interface as clean and simple as possible. The fact that the design is invisible is testament to the amount of design work that has gone into this product.

When I said design will be dead soon, I was talking about the minimalists lines of an ipod for exemple! I can draw just a cube with 3 buttons and sell it as an mp4 device.
Starck said himself, design is useless, yeah he really said that, he also said that he will stop design in two years, publicity stunt? I don't think so

Are you trying to say there is no design in the iPod? Minimalism isn't the absence of design, it's the absence of embellishment. Embellishment DOES NOT EQUAL design.

nah that's not what I was trying to say
its form is so minimalist you can't do it more simple...
check the video "Microsoft sustainability" that's all  I got to say about this...

You need design for technology.

Stop talking about things you don't know about.

haha I would be glad to show you my portfolio, and in the same time take look at yours.
