Quirky Design (2017x12)

Air date: Jun 22, 2017

Every nation's sense of humor is unique, and when used in design these quirks offer interesting perspectives and insight. This approach can also elicit an emotional response that brings us closer to the objects around us. Quirky design provides the human warmth that's vital to modern life -- a warmth that can be lost in the single-minded pursuit of functionality. Artist Yasuhiro Suzuki explores the potential of quirky designs and their playful, humorous elements.
