  • Christiaan Maats is a designer and entrepreneur who challenges the way we look at product design. Going beyond form and function he shows us how products carry deeper layers of meaning and how those layers can connect us to a bigger reality. In this Talk, Christiaan Maats explains how meaningful products can embody the change we want to see in the world and sheds light on his own vision of a circular society that integrates industrial society with its natural roots.
    Christiaan Maats was born and raised in Groningen, though he studied Industrial Design Engineering at Technical University in Delft. His keen interest in the psychology behind product- and brand experience took him to Sydney, Australia where he conducted a case study titled “Storytelling through Product Design”. Good product design is good storytelling, according to Christiaan. His creation of the world’s first biodegradable shoes that bloom is a perfect example of his philosophy. Christiaan considers himself a practical idealist. He is driven by his passion for innovation and creating products and brands that inspire a better future by making you smile, think and wonder. His refreshing ideas on sustainable innovation disrupt the status quo. Christiaan's diverse background and enthusiasm are great ingredients for an inspiring TEDx Talk that focuses on the society of the future and how to get there.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    I thought about the axes in a different way
    The first axe is normal, it is simple but not to simple, and it's cheap
    The second axe is made from better steel and has a better handle
    The third axe is heavy and unrealistic, it is hard to actually use it, and its best use is decoration
    The people I paired with the axes are then different to the ones in the talk
    I paired the first axe with the armored guy, he looks like a worrior from medival times who would only have the simple and efficient axe
    The modern guy with the axe would probably have a better axe so he gets the second one
    The last one would buy a good looking axe that might not be good as a tool, but it's fine because it isn't meant to be

      lmao, coming off the fact that the second ax looks like a better quality. That pattern on the blade looked like Damascus steel so much I was like really thrown off. (btw
      damascus steel is the thing that they allegedly based valyrian steel off in Game of Thrones, so you get a sense of how sharp and durable that thing could be)

    The idea is nice but it was very simple and a little utopian (not thinking about how to give solution to actual obstacles). Sadly not all the people are interested in the general good, but just care about themselves

    It's like Apple, removing headphones and power brick in the iPhone 12, they say it's for the environment but it's also favorable for them , charging the same price for less items in the box disguising it as being environmentally friendly, but the truth is it's like hitting two birds with one stone 🤔

    sell your product with why. sell emotion. not reason.
    for eg. lets say you have a ph
    you sell like this for eg
    Hey this ph is great have a great deal of functions. nice camera. have a great battery.
    in this example you are selling you ph with zero purposes.
    lets me tell you again.
    sell emotion. not only your products.
    for eg. im gonna sell like
    i believe we can communicate closely via phone like talking in the flesh.
    this make our relationship stronger.
    I created this product because i believe blah blah.
    Sell what you believe and sell emotion.
    People who have same purposes will join you will buy your products. Thanks me later.
