Really nice video - introduction to sustainable design. May ask though a question regarding the cork material, opposed to using for example, recycled plastic, or even plastic (that can be recycled). Cork, is mainly produced in Portugal, right? The electronic device will be, most likely produced in China. Then, cork has to be shipped to China. I have no metrics, I just wonder, would it be more "sustainable" to use plastic (that will be recycled later), that most likely the supplier is next door to the manufacturer's site, than sourcing a green material from the other side of the planet? By no means do I question you , it is genuine question I have as a product designer from Europe, working in the tech industry in Asia. Also, I have designed plastic chairs. People tend to think that a recycled plastic chair is more "green" than a plastic chair made by first-time-used-plastic-material. But a recycled plastic chair is much more weak, as the recycled plastic is a weaker material. In addition, plastic material, cannot be recycled more than 1-2 times (depending its type). The best strategy, as you mentioned, is minimum or/and responsible consumption. Then, however, our financial system will collapse...

Great video! have some personal thoughts on this matter ngl tbh i feel like timeless design is a lie. i feel like great "timeless designs" are just very well aged designs that don't cling to any era of design. what I mean by that is that they try to avoid trends and crazy overdesigned features and incorporate stables of design that will always exist. so something like natural wood texture, contrast, mainly primitive shapes. design features that are well established because of manufacturing methods I would also put on this list. make it seem possible that a human has built it for other humans. i would count visible screws, round holes, vents and bent materials into this category. almost some industrial elements. So in my opinion critique on your design would be its too complex and overdesigned for it to look timeless. doesn't look like its manufactured by humans bc of the curved and into each other flowing glass top with the wave pattern. making the vents so small feel like you want to hide it. so why even design it in the first place. the too small knob also just doesn't feel like its designed for humans. i always try to imagine what a Dieter Rams product would feel like in a normal persons home. without all the other fancy minimal interior design. a messy room maybe. and I think it would still work. while clean and minimalistic they clearly present what they are with materials and forms that already exist everywhere else. Thats my big critique on many home appliance minimalistic, "timeless" designs nowadays. they just don't fit in if ur home isn't designed by a interior designer. Many products seem to be designed in a vacuum to be only viewed against a white background. while cool on their own they try to design around what they actually are. in a messy room it just looks out of place. And I think true timeless designs will fit almost anywhere.

I love the video! What software do you use to design?

One thing I've learnt as a industrial designer: there are children suffering in Africa, nuclear war threatening humanity.... industrial designers: "I think I should design chair" 😂😂😂

Equating all production to damage is a might misanthropic.

hey there .. midjourney looks great for product and image designing .. may I please ask ? Once some of the basic product design is achieved with midjourney and the blend too feature .. how do I then go about preparing let’s say 8 different images of this product that has various angles and variations of the product so that I can upload them to the Amazon listings page ? Is midjourney able to achieve and create these type of product images that display and show the product from different angles ready to upload ? how do I go about achieve this please bro 😎 ? and also how do I go about using an ai software tool that specialises in infographics ? Is there a good ai software that you know is good for this ? cheers mate

Wow, I just discovered your videos and I can't thank you enough! Love your no generic talk and straightforwardness.

May you share some sources and information with where you get these trends?

Very nice video. I love when someone can deliver relevant information with good light humor. Something that's very relevant also is the manufacturing process used on the material. A injected aluminum part uses a lot mor energy to produce than a stamp molded one, for example. That's an interesting topic.

Thank you so much 🙏

then comes the sales management and demands the product line has to be refreshed every 3 years, customers must be forced to buy our new products more frequently and it’s not negotiable, sustainability is cheaper outsourced to the marketing department.

Super important topic, but how to do an actual calculation? Where could I find verified information about carbon footprint of each material (is it like a x CO2 per 1kg of the material)? What about the CO2 footprint of sourcing, production etc?

What app are you using to demonstrate the rendering of the product? That looks very practical.

I am curious to know what kind of program you used for your LCA. Or is this already embedded in the render programs you used.

Great video. I will say, as a product designer we have to understand 'why' a company might make specific changes, for example, working on a project recently. To achieve UL certification / IEC CB certification the materials used were required to be UL94 rated to atleast V1, many materials available could only achieve this at 3mm thick - where as the optimal thickness would have been 1.5 - 2mm range, even though the fire risk of the product was extremely low, it's where approvals have actually pushed us to be less sustainable. Same with the use of environmentally friendly polymers, if they aren't UL Yellow Card then you'll have a bad time trying to get into the US market.

hey, I really love your videos for their easy vibe :) you explain and do complex things without selling it as rocket science! I wanted to ask: what kind of software do you use on your iPad - you seem to model CAD AND render on it? :)

There's an App for Android and iOS devices called "Idemat" which he really helpful in LCA. It has a large database of materials, processes and their relative carbon footprint, emissions etc.

Nice video but I feel like it's too optimistic. I'm not a product designer but Who is going to keep using a power bank for 12years? It's gonna look like a scuffed up piece of metal in about 3years of use, and it's gonna get worse every year. The electronics also have to be reliable enough to go that far (which usually drives up the price as well as the carbon emission). I'm probably nit picking but these are some things to think about.

Apple series plssss !!!! or X-Ray Style

Nice video! The one thing I’ll say on calculating the life cycle is increasing the estimated usage time doesn’t necessarily translate as well as you’ve shown it. Products, especially like chargers and other electronics, typically have a lower life cycle mostly from the evolution of tech and actual usability. Looking at a 12 or even 6 year life cycle isn’t usually realistic when rating actual consumer usage. 3 years is a better number to base it on. Wish it wasn’t so! Either way, love your content and keep it going 👌👌 Oh and one other idea would be making it upgradable or changeable. Having replaceable batteries is a good start but I wonder if it could be made to keep the original case but upgrade or update the internal contents so it can evolve with humanity. Imagine having products that evolve over time like this (kind of like PC cases. You can always upgrade the RAM, GPU, memory, etc but have the same computer case for decades)

This can actual good usage of ai for designers . Help me to do forcast and flex. Maybe I am overthinking, as I worked with some nerdy excel experts . Iam sure we can have coolexcel file to save…

Great video again! Love how you bring interesting topics by creating an example and adding a touch of humor 👌

Very nice video 👌. Is it a project you did for a client ?

Great insights into Apple's design philosophy. Kinda reminds me of Limmy's sketch "Shop Assistant"

What sources do you use to analize these trends?

What is the program you are designing in?? 😊

Maybe try new thumbnails or titles, but this is definitely a concept that people would like. I haven't seen anyone do a design language breakdown like this

The first chair looked more like large pool noodle material.

Great!

No intro needed go straight into the trade, you’ll get more audience

Great!

"Style is more technical".. Please dont be stupid... The word "technical" has zero relation to asthetics or appearance of an object.

but, can you have different angles photos of a same product?

Love your videos but why does your 1080p look like 480p from 2009?

thanks for the video, but i couldnt find any of those options and was not able to find the button to make a products brief. Thanks

Rounded corners have to do with fluidity and agility. The sharper the corners the less moveable and fluid a shape appears

在中国你这种只能算入门设计师水平

Imo timeless design tends to look more complex than simple like Nintendo consoles

You are awesome! Just one detail that you could change on the screws. Instead of Allen, it could be the Pentalobe screw, which is what Apple normally uses. Hugs from Brazil!

pro tip was verrrrrry HELpFULL

you look like woodkid

I feel like its scary to hear, controversial to say, but still valid: Apple kinda has bad ergonomic design, good enough hardware, well optimized software & terrible user interfacing... Idk if we really should be taking apple hardware design to heart but we should be making the best of its most usable qualities and doing the things apple "wouldn't" want to do. Technically they're not a very consumer friendly company and we shouldn't be taking that to heart as part of "good design" practices.

love it. the finger knob's scale throws me off a bit - is it the know that's too small or is the grinder itself for 1kg coffee beans? lol

How i understand is why apple products are always recognizable is because they stick to a design for a long time or they change things in a way it is still recognizable that's why apple products are icon Nothing is a company that is following apple design philosophy following the apple footstep

You don't actually need an apple logo to design like apple i mean you need to follow the footsteps that apple use to design products

Really fun in an educational way. Recommended!

I know this is unrelated but give the Quran a read brother

Special thanks to u for useful information <3

nice demo - subscribing from today! Hey, what is the app you are using to compile all the images on? kind of late to the party but trying to catch up on using AI as design assistant.

Like these guides. Thanks.
