South African Design Week/Recorded 2008
A close reading, kept within reach.
Doshi Levien 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 United Kingdom in 2008, the conversation is grounded in Doshi'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.
At the design intersection of culture and technology some very interesting things are possible, as Doshi Levien have discovered.
