Yves Béhar

precedent study 2008

Bridging brands, cultures, and identities, Yves Béhar is quickly becoming a big name for the future of design. His forward thinking and consideration for sustainable, meaningful, story-based design, rooted in his own design experience and education, has strong links to the "Italian Brand." A designer of multiple Italian-manufactured products, Béhar is helping to push Italian design innovation into the future, while retaining the strong links to quality, timelessness, and familial relationships that have made Italian design what it is today.

research report

As individuals, we were given one week to research 1 of 14 "maestri" and write a 1500-word report on their relevance to the culture of Italian Design. Below is a link to the report in PDF format.

presentation slides

We were also required to compile a presentation to give in-class, based on the information we put forth in the report. The slides intended to give an overview of the designer for the rest of the research team, and 4 of those slides are available below.
