Tacos vs potato chip is the best metaphor, and i wouldn't change a thing. It's hilarious and memorable!

The outtakes are so good 😂

I would absolutely trade away the modern blow molded coffee lid. the amount of trash for a single use item and I would personally enjoy a resurgence in the coffee shop as a third place and not a stop off point to get a shot of caffeine.

This is a wonderful video, but I really feel it skimmed past bild lilli. This isn't a video about bild lilli of course but I feel it doesn't give her near enough credit

A Gentleman and a Scholar

The thing about silk worms not existing in the wild anymore isn't true-- there are other types of silk producing moths that still exist in the wild. (Especially in India). But they're distinct.

Love art deco and art moderne! Thanks for your work here!! 😊

Godley and Peers initiated the spider silk fabrics, but they did not MAKE the garments themselves. The artisans did!

The comment at 55:07 explains so much!

Hi Matthew, as an Indonesian designer who experienced ID student life under Covid, I found my formative student years to be excruciatingly dull, and graduated in 2022 with dissappointment of my study, continuing to the auto industry and being displeased with it almost in the same manner of my own study. I'm extremely grateful to stumble upon your desperate videos in 2020 to hook your students, and have my horizon widened by binge watching all 12-week videos in an attempt to rekindle my relationship with the broader ID field and its rich history. I can't thank you enough for bringing knowledge and inspiring, even ten thousand miles away. A history lesson only an et ceterator could make!

Why did they get rid of the holes in the feet stand? I get improvements but getting rid of the stand is crazy to me all the flimsy stands they just seam to get worse by the year. The holes in the feet stand are perfect I love when I get a reproduction doll that has that stand! ❤❤

You must be one of the best professors alive. Thank you!

Utterly Brilliant! I applaud the attempt to get the audience but to think ...not just learn. How many lecture courses have people listening to them for pleasure? But I confess I watch these for the pure joy of learning. Bravo!

Yo found your lectures during the pan dem dem. You are famous to me. Marry me and my GF.

" Form is ornament" such a good quote - so concise and insightful... Thank you for these, I can not tell you how nice it is to have some Matt Bird back in my life!

Im an artist in the video game industry, just want to say I really appreciate this fountain of knowledge!

Fantastic presentation. He was a fascinating man. Our nonprofit, Histoury, will be hosting a tour that includes interior stops at two of his homes in Darien in a couple of weeks, including the Milestone House. We are excited to spread the word about Guild!

This is so good. thank you

I'm obsessed with timelines and maps, do you have a way to view your fantastic timeline from the video?

This video was MEGA!!

absolutely brilliant. I’ve watched the whole series. Thank you so very much. Fascinating about Art Deco.

OK, English bloke here ..... about pronunciation of the letter T, no forget it .... thanks for the most watchable design lectures out there.

I have both a IBM model A from 1935 and the Model B

Just saw some Frankl's at the Grand Rapids Art Museum! Love that your lectures are online, thank you for sharing!

about the best most succinct explanations of design on t'internet, thank you.

What an amazing series. Thank you for making this publicly available! I've learned a lot and loved every second!

Bonjour

I’ve been really interested in the aesthetics of art nouveau recently and been wanting to make art inspired by the era thank you for giving me the context and helping me reallllyyy understand and reallllyyy push those details

Thank you for this video, and the pink! Cheers!

35:29 lmao a man almost realizes his country was forced into an experimental phase of society that still persists into this day

Very very interesting!

That was one of the best documentaries on toy history I have seen; Bravo! I have always been interested in how and why things are being made and this video gave me more insights.

I listend! I really liked this. I am not an Industial designer or a student. I am 57-year-old man that is in love with Art Deco .

I think a Pringle makes more sense than a potato chip

THIS IS RIVETING!!!!

I feel like it’s 1989 and my 7th grade art teacher rolled in a TV and VCR on a cart. Still baked from the Parking Lot I sit enthralled and learn way more about silverware than I ever knew I wanted to. LOL Thanks friend.

I walked around Miami Beach today & feel like I "discovered" Art Deco for the first time in my life. THANK YOU, Matthew Bird, for sharing this wonderful video with us. What an incredible introduction to Art Deco. Your expertise, insight, and humor are appreciated more than I can even say.

The mistake plate reminds me of my favorite response to people complaining about Chinese manufacturing: "Made in China to American Specifications"

The luckhardt st14 chair looks like the supports were pinned or riveted. It's hard to tell, but there's that small circle where it looks like corrosion is in the gap, and also because the end of the fastner is flush.

I really appreciate you doing this and sharing this!

If anything good came out of the pandemic, it's videos like this. Stumbled across the section on art deco because I've always had a passing interest in that style of art and design, and came out wanting to learn more and having a bunch of different threads to pursue to do so, and just want to thank you for uploading these videos.

People think it's difficult to make symmetrical models in 1990's, think about the temples in India that had perfect symmetry which are sculpted out of stone and are made in a huge scale, all my respect to the Temple Builders

So cute at the end. I’m falling in love🥰

Thank you for these series of lectures. Inspiration manifest and much appreciated.

Over an hour long, all about the history of art Deco? Sounds incredible. Im watching this later.

Let's also remember the iconic 1964 (64° angle) Coast Guard racing stripe. The visual emotional reaction for those on the water is always priceless. It's either good or bad.🤣 Many other nations have now copied versions of the "Racing Stripe".

This is so good. Looking forward to watching the rest of these videos over the next few days

I’ve just watched this last chapter in your course. And probably the most important things I’ll take away from it are excitement for all the ideas you’ve shared and optimism for everything that lies ahead. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your work and the connections you’ve made among otherwise disparate people and objects as you’ve described a trajectory for the evolution of design as a practice. You’ve given us a lot to think about this world of products and services in which we live. And you’ve given me, personally, a renewed excitement about how and where I can contribute to it. I wish there were some way to repay your efforts. (Seriously: a Patreon site, a book, tee shirts … coffee mugs … everyone loves coffee mugs)
