Marcel Wanders on reaching people through design
What Can Your Creativity Do?/Recorded 2009
A close reading, kept within reach.
Marcel Wanders 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 Netherlands in 2009, the conversation is grounded in Marcel'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.
In design, it’s important to experiment and find different ways of looking at your surroundings, Marcel Wanders believes.
