Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and the people who design them. It is about the designers who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. The film documents the creative processes of some of the world’s most influential product designers including Chris Bangle, Erwan & Ronan Bouroullec, Anthony Dunne, Dan Formosa, Fiona Raby, Karim Rashid, Amber Shonts, Marc Newson, Jonathan Ive, Naoto Fukasawa, and Dieter Rams.
