"I'm a failure at this job!" - says a man who despite being stuck in a raging deadly HURRICANE casually decides to deep dive into CHAIR DESIGN as if its the normal thing to do in this situation, and while doing so pulls out a magnificently immersive full-ass hour and a half lecture out of his sleeve, and all of it in one take.... Imagine having this level humbleness. This was so interesting I've watched this for another 10 hrs straight. Hats off.
"i'm a failure this job" - not really, You did such a good work! And help me to take a fancy to history of design... And also help me a lot in arrangements to important exam! You put so much work in this 1h 25min video! Thanks for time spent by You! Greetings from Poland!
Enjoyed this video a lot and learned new things about both Bauhaus and american design. Felt almost like being at an exclusive lecture all alone. Well done
Excellent insight into pri WWII design! I am very disappointed though that it took me 10 years to discover this high quality channel.Hope it is still going strong. Greetings from Germany
I more than enjoyed this video. I watched until the end and now looking for more. I love your sense of humor. I especially admire you for being able to teach this whole lesson during a darn hurricane! You rock! lol
I dont normally write comments on youtube videos, but, I just wanted to thank you for the videos, theyre great fun and Ive learned a lot. Just wanted to say thanks...
What you feel is "clumsy" about K.E.M. Weber's designs I find to be satisfying for those who desire solidity even from the "Streamline" aesthetic. Thrilling for me.
Hello. Is it possible to get, read, or buy more of your lectures on history of furnitre design. Thank you in advance Best regards Vladimir Mun (Kazakhstan)
The story you have rtold about how Marcel Breuer got the idea for the monoframe/swingframe is axcactly the same story how Mart Stam figured it out. Mart Stam was actually the fist Bauhaus member who realised the chair. Unfortuanately bicycle tube was not strong enough. Through developments Marcel Breuer die manage to achieve a functional chair. Nevertheless thank you for the lecture.
Informative and revealing content and introduction of designers unknown to myself, besides the obvious names. Wondering why Eileen Gray was a not referenced ?
There really isn't one solid book to rely on. I use Carma Gorman's EXCELLENT Industrial Design Reader (primary sources!) and the Fiell's Industrial Design A to Z (a good easy overview with nice pictures). Let's hope someday the world gets interested enough that a real textbook is interesting to publishers!!!

I seem to pick up something new every time I listen to each of your lectures. 😮😊
Your familiar conversational approach is so refreshing, and I do not believe any apologies are necessary.

Do you see what I see with Weber's designs? I think he is competing with Bel Geddes.
