Update on ‘Design for Life’

One of the things I love most about blogging is the community of industrial designers who come on Embody 3D and check out the articles and who leave some really helpful comments. Last week I did a post on ‘Design for Life’ a new reality TV show featuring Philippe Starck that aired in Australia last week, which can be viewed at:

I had a couple of people ask how can I watch this series if I am not in Great Britain or Australia. I would like to acknowledge Raph from our good friends at Design Droplets for letting us know that the episodes can be viewed on Vimeo:

Episode 1 – http://vimeo.com/6767745

Episode 2 – http://vimeo.com/6942733

Episode 3 – http://vimeo.com/6944872

Episode 4 – http://vimeo.com/6924360

Episode 5 – http://vimeo.com/7088473

Episode 6 – http://vimeo.com/7232828

Now anyone can watch the episodes online, and impatient Australians can skip ahead of the ABC broadcast!

Also Check Out ‘The Genius of Design’!!!!!!!!!!!

Also one of the UK Embody3Ders by the comical name ‘Dr Plop’ let us know of a new series airing there at the moment called ‘The Genius of Design’. I must admit the Philippe Starck TV series is not everyones cup of tea, but after watching the first episode of ‘The Genius of Design’ I can safely say it is a far more educational and insightful program revealing a modern history of industrial design and products. Definitely check this series out, it is like Objectified in a tv series form!
