SBS television recently screened a documentary about Yves Behar,
the person behind the distinctive industrial design of the OLPC XO
laptop. It’s a fascinating insight into the mind and influences
behind one of the most influential designers around. The
documentary was originally aired in November 2008, so it is a
little dated. For example, Yves talks about the “XOXO” XO-2, which has
since been replaced with the XO-3. Nevertheless, it is well worth
watching.
You can view the full version at the SBS Web site. The section on
OLPC starts at 14:48.
