Mathieu Lehanneur on designing for today
I Am Not a Designer/Recorded 2012
A close reading, kept within reach.
Mathieu Lehanneur takes industrial 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 2012, the conversation is grounded in Mathieu'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.
Mathieu Lehanneur believes that each project needs to start with a question and not with a brief.
