I Miss My Pencil by Martin Bone + Kara Johnson

New with plastic cover book: I Miss My Pencil by Martin Bone + Kara Johnson. What if a doorbell could trigger the connection between scent and memory? What if watches told time more slowly on weekends? IDEO design director Martin Bone and IDEO materials expert Kara Johnson explore these and other thought-provoking questions about what inspires designers to design with I Miss My Pencil. This 240-page glossy tome from Chronicle Books and IDEO follows 12 design experiments through collaboration, sketching, prototyping, fabrication, and photographing to show us new ways of seeing the objects that surround us. Each experiment starts with a provocative hypothesis — an observation of human behavior or specific elements of materiality — and ends with an object and its story. With each of these experiments, the authors provoke new ways of seeing the objects that surround us. The next time we use, buy, or design a doorbell, stereo speakers, or a bottle of wine, we will regard each object differently. 🚫No trades
