Ayse Birsel and Bibi Seck on the different stages of product design
Entrenching Itself on the International Design Calendar/Recorded 2006
A close reading, kept within reach.
Birsel + Seck takes product design as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in USA in 2006, the conversation is grounded in Birsel's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Ayse Birsel and Bibi Seck believe that products have a particular purpose and it is the designer’s responsibility to make it adaptable to varying environments.
