Designified
Are product designers the new rock stars?
You may decide so after seeing Gary Hustwit’s latest doc, Objectified, which looks at how everyday objects from toothbrushes to door handles have become contemporary objets d’arts. This fascinating film gets into the creative minds of designers like Marc Newson, maker of the million dollar Lockheed Lounge (pictured), and Karim Rashid, the brainchild behind the Garbo plastic garbage pail.
Finally, some insight into our obsession with Ikea water glasses.
Objectified, tickets $10; until July 16 at Cinema du Parc, 3575 Parc Ave., Montreal, 514-281-1900, www.cinemaduparc.com
