David Kelley: The future of design is human-centered

I do agree with David Kelley’s video ‘Human centered design’. During the short 20min video, he has highlighted many key points of what is Human centered design? Living in a past pastes today’s industrial designer; I believe it’s important to understand the meaning and the structure of ‘Human centered design’. Human centered design brings people exciting experiences to be able to touch feel and be involved with actives. That today’s technologies is allowing us in approaching new innovation in a more dynamic and lively form.


The Prada store in New York is a very good example to represent David Kelley’s theory in how to bring life experience in incorporating fashion products with consumers. The high technology has definitely provided more connivance for the shopper, the remote control and TV screen system gives them direct and presentations in selecting colors and sizes visually. The liquid crystal glass as known as “the magic mirror” provides the customer the instant privacy, and in additional to that the “3 seconds delay mirror’ is definitely the high light in the Prada changing rooms, this innovates idea has made shopping more advantages and exciting than ever!


I personally adore the idea of the “magic mirror”, I think it’s a very good combination in presenting “human centered design in addition to technologies” the mirror clearly captures the whole glance of how you look with the brand and provides you with the maximum trust and satisfaction. The Prada store of New York has made the contributions to industrial designers in the understanding of the philosophies of ‘Human centered design’.
