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.

Forrest North: The beginning of any collaboration

2000
2000
Forrest North: Nagsisimula ang pagtutulungan
00:22
starts with a conversation.
1
4000
2000
sa isang usapan.
00:24
And I would like to share with you
2
6000
2000
At nais kong ibahagi sa inyo
00:26
some of the bits of the conversation that we started with.
3
8000
4000
ang iilan sa aming usapan na aming nasimulan.
00:30
I grew up in a log cabin in Washington state
4
12000
2000
Lumaki ako sa isang log cabin sa estado ng Washington
00:32
with too much time on my hands.
5
14000
2000
na may maraming oras na walang magawa.
00:34
Yves Behar: And in scenic Switzerland for me.
6
16000
3000
Yves Behar: At sa mala-postcard na Switzerland naman ako.
00:37
FN: I always had a passion for alternative vehicles.
7
19000
3000
FN: Hilig ko na talaga noon pa ang mga sasakyang alternatibo.
00:40
This is a land yacht racing across the desert in Nevada.
8
22000
4000
Ito ay isang yateng panglupa na gamit pangkarera sa magkabilang dulo ng disyerto sa Nevada.
00:44
YB: Combination of windsurfing and skiing into this invention there.
9
26000
4000
YB: Magkasamang windsurfing at skiing ang imbensyong ito.
00:48
FN: And I also had an interest in dangerous inventions.
10
30000
3000
FN: At mahilig din ako sa mga mapanganib na imbensyon.
00:51
This is a 100,000-volt Tesla coil
11
33000
2000
Ito ay isang 100,000-volt na Tesla coil
00:53
that I built in my bedroom,
12
35000
3000
na ginawa ko sa aking kwarto,
00:56
much to the dismay of my mother.
13
38000
3000
kahit tutol ang nanay ko.
00:59
YB: To the dismay of my mother,
14
41000
2000
YB: Sa pagtutol naman ng aking ina,
01:01
this is dangerous teenage fashion right there.
15
43000
3000
ito ay mapanganib na pananamit.
01:04
(Laughter)
16
46000
3000
(Tawanan)
01:07
FN: And I brought this all together,
17
49000
2000
FN: At pinagsama-sama ko ito lahat,
01:09
this passion with alternative energy and raced a solar car across Australia --
18
51000
4000
itong pagkahilig sa alternatibong enerhiya. At nagmaneho ng solar car sa magkabilang dulo ng Australia.
01:13
also the U.S. and Japan.
19
55000
2000
Pati na sa U.S. at Japan.
01:15
YB: So, wind power, solar power -- we had a lot to talk about.
20
57000
4000
YB: Kaya, enerhiya mula sa hangin, sa araw, marami kaming napag-uusapan.
01:19
We had a lot that got us excited.
21
61000
3000
Marami kaming gustong gawin.
01:22
So we decided to do a special project together.
22
64000
3000
Kaya nagpasya kaming magsama para sa isang espesyal na proyekto.
01:25
To combine engineering and design and ...
23
67000
4000
Upang pagsamahin ang inhinyeriya at disenyo at...
01:29
FN: Really make a fully integrated product, something beautiful.
24
71000
3000
FN: gumawa ng iisang produktong ganap, isang napakagandang bagay.
01:32
YB: And we made a baby.
25
74000
2000
YB: At gumawa kami ng "baby".
01:34
(Laughter)
26
76000
1000
(Tawanan)
01:35
FN: Can you bring out our baby?
27
77000
2000
FN: Maari na bang ilabas ang aming "baby"?
01:43
(Applause)
28
85000
2000
(Palakpakan)
01:45
This baby is fully electric.
29
87000
3000
Ganap na de-kuryente ang "baby" na ito.
01:48
It goes 150 miles an hour.
30
90000
2000
Aabot ito hanggang 150 milya bawat oras.
01:50
It's twice the range of any electric motorcycle.
31
92000
3000
Doble ang mararating nito kung ikukumpara sa ibang de-kuryenteng motorsiklo.
01:53
Really the exciting thing about a motorcycle
32
95000
2000
Ang talagang nakakasabik sa mga motorsiklo
01:55
is just the beautiful integration of engineering and design.
33
97000
5000
ay ang magandang pagkakabuklod ng inhinyeriya at disenyo.
02:00
It's got an amazing user experience.
34
102000
2000
Nagbibigay ito ng karanasang kagulat-gulat sa sinumang nakasakay.
02:02
It was wonderful working with Yves Behar.
35
104000
2000
Masaya akong nakatrabaho si Yves Behar.
02:04
He came up with our name and logo. We're Mission Motors.
36
106000
3000
Siya ang nakapag-isip ng aming pangalan at logo. Kami ang Mission Motors.
02:07
And we've only got three minutes,
37
109000
2000
At meron lang kaming tatlong minuto.
02:09
but we could talk about it for hours.
38
111000
2000
Ngunit maari pa kaming magsalita dito ng ilang oras pa kung nanaisin niyo.
02:11
YB: Thank you.
39
113000
2000
YB: Salamat.
02:13
FN: Thank you TED. And thank you Chris, for having us.
40
115000
2000
FN: Salamat sa TED. At salamat Chris, sa inyong paanyaya.
02:15
