OBJECTIFIED, by filmmaker Gary Hustwit, is the second installment in his trilogy on design (his
first was Helvetica). OBJECTIFIED encourages us to stop and notice our surroundings and to think
critically about creativity and consumption. Who makes all these objects, and why do they look and
feel the way they do? How can good design make these things—and by extension our lives—better? What
about the environment and the social and environmental costs associated with global manufacturing
and planned obsolescence?

Featuring interviews with some of the world’s preeminent industrial and product designers,
OBJECTIFIED is an exploration of the process at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech
gadgets. It’s about the designers who reexamine, reevaluate and reinvent our manufactured
environment daily. It is about personal expression, identity, consumerism and sustainability. What
can we learn about who we are and who we want to be from the objects with which we surround ourselves?
