When you see an object,you make so many assumptions about that object.
In seconds,what it does,how well it's going to do it,how heavy it is,how much you think it should cost.
The object testifies to the people that conceived it,thought about it,developed it,manufactured it.
Ranging issues of form to material to its architecture to how it connects to you,how you touch it,how you hold it.
Every object,intentional or not,speaks the who put it there
The goal of the modern design has always being mass production,it's been producing standardize objects for consumption by millions and millions of people.
One of the earliest examples would be the first emperor of China,hm,he was weighing walls to try and colonize more and more parts of what will eventually become China.
And one of his problems was that each of his archers made their own arrows.
And so if an archer died,a fellow archers couldn't grab the arrow from his quiver and start shooting at the enemy because the arrow literally didn't fit his bow.
So the first emperor and his advisers came up with a way to standardizing the designing of the arrows so that each arrow will fit any bow.
Many of the best examples of industrial design are things people don't think were designed at all.
I mean take the postal note; it's something we take for granted that people don't think of it as being design.
And what they don't realize is that from the moment they wake up,almost everything that fills their world has been designed in one way or another.
There is a story embedded in every object.
Every decision was made at some point about something.
This particular toothpick is like a Japanese toothpick.
And,but obviously its manufacture for sale in the U.S.
But what's interesting about it is its kind of the evolution of a type of object that happens for many many years.
Hm,but you'll notice the end of it,the tip of it is serrated so you can break it off.
This is like to signify that it was used,but it also creates a tiny rest for the toothpick.
Obviously that Japanese style chip because it has specifically culture context,where that kind of functionality make sense,and that kind of ritual make sense.
That may not be used that way at all in U.S.
What is fascinating about these little stories that get embedded in these objects is that we are reminded by a quote by Henry Ford who once said that every object tells a story,if you know how to read it.

完工··忽忽···(LZ为什么还没有选?)
每当你看到一件物品的时候,你都会在短时间内对它做出很多猜想:它是用来干嘛的?性能怎么样?重不重?值多少钱?
人们经过的构想,思考,发展,最后才能制作出一样产品,每样产品的出炉也意味着人们经过了重重考验.
从原材料的收集到怎样使它为我们所用,乃至我们触摸产品时是什么感觉,所有环节无不是精雕细琢的.
不管是国际的还是国内的,每一样产品都代表了创造它的人.
现代产品设计的目标是最终实现大规模生产,而很多产品经过标准化后,为数以百万的消费者所用.
举一个最早的例子,中国的第一任皇帝,秦始皇,他就通过自己的统治,一砖一瓦地硬是把中国“砌”了起来.
但问题是他的弓箭手都只顾着自己手上的弓箭,当有弓箭手牺牲的时候,其它弓箭手却不能把他的弓箭为自己所用,因为这些弓箭和他们的弓不配套.
最后秦始皇和他的大臣们想出了一个办法,让这些弓箭都标准化,这样大家就都可以用了.
很多我们生活中的最好的工业设计却经常被我们忽略掉了.
比如邮编,人们都把它当成了理所当然的一件事,很少有人会想到它也是经过设计了的.
每人们每天早上醒来的时候,不会有人想到,他们周围所有的东西都是被人用各种方式设计出来的.
每件物品的背后都蕴含着一个故事.
每件物品都是人们在某一时刻的某些灵感和决定.
这个独特的牙签跟日本的牙签很相似
但是很显然,它是由美国制造的.
不过有趣的是,这东西是经过了很多很多年而慢慢演变出来的.
你可以看到这个牙签的末梢呈锯齿状,以便于把它掰断.
这样就能很好的区分哪些是用过的牙签了,同时也没有给牙签带来“很大的伤害”
很显然这牙签是日本风格的,因为它包含了特别的文化特质,那就是实用性和礼仪性.
而这不是美国的风格.
蕴含在这些东西里的小故事为什么会这么让人着迷呢?可以引用亨利福特的一句话来回答,那就是每样东西都讲述了一个故事,只要你能够读懂它.
