10 Yves Behar on Creating and Designing through Technology


Listen Later

Yves Behar is a Swiss-born entrepreneur and ArtCenter alum who has become the design world's reigning rockstar.

As founder of the industrial design and branding firm, fuseproject, Yves has become a leading force in forging the future of sustainable technology. Equally important to Fuseproject's business model is a deep commitment to the social good. Yves regularly partners with nonprofits to create groundbreaking products like One Laptop Per Child, See Better to Learn Better, and more.

In this episode, ArtCenter President Lorne Buchman speaks to Yves about his most innovative products, his inclination to question conventional wisdom, the ways in which the DIY punk movement inspired his passion for making and his commitment to designing products that prioritize human connection over time spent with screens.
