Dave Hakkens on a phone worth keeping (trailer)
A Better Future Through Design/Recorded 2014
A close reading, kept within reach.
The speaker 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 the field in 2014, the conversation is grounded in The'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.
The Dutch designer talks about his modular phone concept – and the back-to-front way he brought it to market.
