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.
