Yves Behar - Designing Objects that Tell Stories

To Yves Behar objects tell stories, making storytelling very apparent and important in Behar's work and life. He did not merely want to make skins for objects but to design and make the insides of the objects as well, this is were the objects tell there stories. This is what made him turn down a job in silicon valley and start his own design company which designed products that would challenge the user to use it in different ways and create new functionality for it.

More recent works by this company have installed more humanistic sense into them. This makes for an interesting new relationship between object and user, this will also change the way that a user will initially react with that object. his justification for doing this was that designers bring value to business and users but what ever value designers put into the object will create a greater value for themselves. This greater value often involves environmental issues, sustainability and lower power consumption.
