ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Yves Behar - Designer
Yves Behar has produced some of the new millennium's most coveted objects, like the Leaf lamp, the Jawbone headset, and the XO laptop for One Laptop per Child.

Why you should listen

Over the past decade, Yves Behar and his firm fuseproject have become the design group that companies turn to for a game-changing idea. Take the re-invention of the Bluetooth headset, for one; or the re-envigoration of the venerable but dowdy Birkenstock line; or Behar's LED-chic Leaf lamp for Herman Miller.

And yes, Behar and fuseproject are the people who put the green bunny ears on the XO laptop -- and are redesigning the next-gen XOXO laptop due in 2010. This quirky but deeply felt project encapsulates much of his recent work, fusing gotta-have-it design with a mission of social responsibility.

We had a lot that got us excited.
21
61000
3000
Имавме многу работи кои не возбудуваа.

01:50
It's twice the range of any electric motorcycle.
31
92000
3000

01:53
Really the exciting thing about a motorcycle
32
95000
2000
Вистински возбудливата работа околу моторциклот
01:55
is just the beautiful integration of engineering and design.
33
97000
5000
е навистина убавата интеграција на инженерство и дизајн.

02:07
And we've only got three minutes,
37
109000
