We reviewed the first two installments last month, finding it to be a fascinating approach to the importance of design we might otherwise take for granted. But now that we’ve been able to see all eight episodes produced by RadicalMedia, we have our favorites.

E. Chai Vasarhelyi (who directed 2015’s “Meru”) tells the story of Ralph Gilles as he works to design a concept car for Chrysler. There are some intriguing moments, especially as Gilles and his team dig into design ideas inspired by interior decoration. And the way in which Gilles anthropomorphizes the cars he works on, right down to their expressions (cars can have “a happy face” or “a mask”), is charming to behold. But it leans a bit too hard on the innate appeal of cars to fully communicate what makes Gilles’ work so innovative.

And talking head segments with car nut Jay Leno don’t have the impact of a more respected expert. British portrait and documentary photographer Planton is the focus of this season's penultimate episode. The fourth episode profiles car designer Gilles, who is the global head of design at automotive manufacturer Fiat Chrysler.

"Paula Scher paints with words as an American graphic designer, artist, and educator," said Netflix. "For more than three decades she has been at the forefront of graphic design and developed identities for esteemed institutions such as The Public Theater in NY, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Target, Bloomberg, and Microsoft." Platon’s fearless portraits capture the souls of world leaders and ordinary people. The second of the two episodes to premiere at Sundance — and brilliantly assembled by Morgan Neville — Christoph Niemann’s distinctive art comes to life not just through his many interactive projects, but also through animation and other inventive means.
Abstract: The Art of Design — Season 1, Episode 1
British interior designer Ilse Crawford creates spaces and objects that engage the sense and promote well- being, from high-end hotels to IKEA furniture. Danish architect Bjarke Ingels is out to change your perception of architecture. Here’s a look at how he unites function, fantasy, and sustainability in “pragmatic utopian” designs like a clean power plant topped with a ski slope.
"His award-winning designs have steered the brand into the future with a sleek new sports cars and a self-driving electric van," said Netflix. "Architect Bjarke Ingels unites function, fantasy and sustainability in 'pragmatic utopian' designs like a clean power plant topped with a ski slope," said Netflix. Interior designer Ilse Crawford creates spaces and objects that engage the senses and promote well-being, from high-end hotels to Ikea furniture.
Step inside the minds of the most innovative designers in a variety of disciplines and learn how design impacts every aspect of life. The series follows eight leading designers operating in different industries. There are episodes dedicated to Ingels, Devlin and Crawford, as well as graphic designer Paula Scher, automobile designer Ralph Gilles, Nike shoe designer Tinker Hatfield, illustrator Christoph Niemann and photographer Platon.
Yes, it’s been weeks and yes, we’re all oscillating between inertia-bound cabin fever and sporadic spurts of productivity. It is fascinating to see this sort of focus applied to the creation of what we might otherwise take for granted, and appreciate not just the art, but the artist behind this work. "Abstract" is an invigorating series showing how much thought and effort goes into the objects in our lives, both the grand and the everyday. If the first season of "Abstract" settles the question of design's cool cultural status, maybe it can also lead to a new version of the conversation (in Season 2?) about what design is, and why we should care. This article relating to a non-fiction television series in the United States is a stub.
Architect Bjarke Ingels unites function, fantasy and sustainability in “pragmatic utopian” designs like a clean power plant topped with a ski slope. It's also a ton of fun, with lots of great nuggets of info - like the influence Paris' Pompidou Center had on Nike design - that you'll likely find yourself telling others at work and parties after you've watched the series. Brian Oakes’ portrait of Es (short for Esmerelda) Devlin keeps things relatively simple, but that turns out to be the smartest of moves, because Devlin’s stagecraft is dazzling enough to take over the screen. A designer who’s designed sets for everyone from Harold Pinter to Beyonce, Devlin’s works are captivating, and she’s also an engaging screen presence, happily bringing the camera into her creative process.
But also director Richard Press takes full advantage of her bold designs, splashing them across the screen in a tribute worthy of their eye-catching power. If you’ve ever wondered why sneakerheads line up for hours on the street waiting to buy limited-edition kicks, Brian Oakes’ portrait of Nike designer Tinker Hatfield should offer a little insight. There are nuances to the art of designing sneakers, and finding innovation within an art form that’s existed for thousands of years is an impressive feat.
Plus, Michael Jordan shows up(!), and the history of the Air Jordan proves to be legitimately interesting. Asked what kind of genre he’d like his story to emulate, Danish architect Bjarke Ingels asks for “the documentary version of ‘Inception.'” Unfortunately, this episode isn’t quite as mind-bending as Christopher Nolan’s Best Picture nominee. Many shots of Ingels’ innovative designs are shown, and we do get to follow along as he tackles a massive design challenge (an opportunity he compares to what it’s like for a comedian to host “SNL”). His designs are truly innovative and eye-catching, but Neville takes a much more presentational approach here than he does with other episodes. From May 2nd to October 7th, 2024, Brazilian contemporary artist Ernesto Neto unveils his most expansive exhibition in Portugal at the Museum of Art and Technology (MAAT), Lisbon. At the heart of the show lies an immersive installation, representing one of Neto’s largest sculptures to date.
In recent years, alongside his artistic pursuits, Neto has delved into percussion. In line with the artist’s aspiration to craft a truly inclusive and varied experience, visitors to the exhibition can also engage with various drums sourced from different origins scattered throughout the installation.
