Synopsis

Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about the designers who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability.

Through vérité footage and in-depth conversations, the film documents the creative processes of some of the world’s most influential product designers, and looks at how the things they make impact our lives. What can we learn about who we are, and who we want to be, from the objects with which we surround ourselves? —ObjectifiedFilm.com

A look into design that's as minimalist as some of the products and concepts discussed.

Amazing documentary about how design is connect with our lives, the importance that it has on the development of the world and the bridge between technology and environment, without forgetting that the well designed things have the least design as possible (as Dieter Rams said).
