Inga Sempé on articulated product design
Entrenching Itself on the International Design Calendar/Recorded 2006
A close reading, kept within reach.
Inga Sempé 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 France in 2006, the conversation is grounded in Inga'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.
Inga Sempé discusses various designs from tables and chairs to stickers and souvenirs, all emphasising what she deems articulate product design.
