I just want to thank you for the effort you put into getting this onto public UA-cam. I really appreciate it.
Hello Mathew. I want to thank you for the series you have created here on youtube. As a fellow Industrial Designer, these history lessons have completely motivated me to design every minute of everyday. I would have appreciated to have you as a teacher when i was in school, but now i feel like you actually were one of my professors as i silently sat in the back of your class room. I understand the time and effort it takes into producing videos like this and i just wanted to speak up, reach out, and thank you once again for your design history lessons.
MANY thanks! Don;t know how many of my actual students have tuned in, so am happy to know that others are!!!
Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech here... as another teacher pushed into becoming an accidental UA-cam by the pandemic, I must commend the amazing quality of the materials you have posted here.
Thank you so much for making all these lectures viewable by the general public. I just spent the last two days watching the entire History of ID series and doing not much else with my time. I wish I could look forward to other days that would be that insightful and enjoyable. I really liked your approach and personality.
I am not one of your students ( although my logo was designed by a RISD grad )I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this entire lecture series. I could have watched another dozen more episodes.....Please do more. Thank you for this informative and entertaining collection.
I’ve just watched this last chapter in your course. And probably the most important things I’ll take away from it are excitement for all the ideas you’ve shared and optimism for everything that lies ahead.
I can’t thank you enough for sharing your work and the connections you’ve made among otherwise disparate people and objects as you’ve described a trajectory for the evolution of design as a practice.
You’ve given us a lot to think about this world of products and services in which we live. And you’ve given me, personally, a renewed excitement about how and where I can contribute to it.
I wish there were some way to repay your efforts. (Seriously: a Patreon site, a book, tee shirts … coffee mugs … everyone loves coffee mugs)
This gave me a new appreciation for the things around me. So many stories, materials, considerations. This was fascinating.
Also, a great binge 👌
Thank You a lot for making and sharing!
Echoing others: thank you for putting this series of lectures up, and re-recording the first lectures that go with them. It's been a fantastic series, some of it review for things I was pretty familiar with, and some things wonderful new overviews of concepts I hadn't explored before. Now I'll watch all the other videos outside the main series. This series should easily have at least 10x the amount of views it has.
Thanks for the great lecture. In opposition to your last words ins this video: I certainly do hope you have to do this again, otherwise only students in your class would be privy to your great content!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, insights and humor on industrial design! I am just a person (an artist and life-learner) not a student - I gained so much by watching the entire lecture series! I guess if form follows function - I was gifted some education during the pandemic. Thanks again for your work in putting this together!
What an amazing series. Thank you for making this publicly available! I've learned a lot and loved every second!
Thanks again for doing this! i know you had to, but still, these vids are what i looked forward to most over the past months. take a break, but then please come back and make more!
I just finished watching through this entire lecture series and wanted to say that this has been so inspiring and fascinating. I really enjoyed all of the content. Thank you!
I’m one of your invisible students via YT… and so enjoyed your history lectures. These Bird Productions are superb, but I must admit the blooper reel at the close of this one was a hilarious lagniappe. The ‘Hope I never have never have to do this again’ soliloquy spoke to me as I’m a magazine writer and those are my harried thoughts every time I meet a deadline. Though I truly love what I do.
Gretchen-
I sort of forgot what was at the end of this. Thank you for inspiring me to go back and watch it. It certainly is an accurate portrait of a teacher doing his best to cope but maybe not totally succeeding without the cracks showing. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And I am especially glad you describe it as a lagniappe, an under-used word that exactly matches spirit of my effort!!!!
Thanks for doing this, it’s most brilliant and productive series which I ever seen in UA-cam! I really appreciate it!
Hi Matthew, as an Indonesian designer who experienced ID student life under Covid, I found my formative student years to be excruciatingly dull, and graduated in 2022 with dissappointment of my study, continuing to the auto industry and being displeased with it almost in the same manner of my own study. I'm extremely grateful to stumble upon your desperate videos in 2020 to hook your students, and have my horizon widened by binge watching all 12-week videos in an attempt to rekindle my relationship with the broader ID field and its rich history. I can't thank you enough for bringing knowledge and inspiring, even ten thousand miles away. A history lesson only an et ceterator could make!
What a lovely comment! I am so pleased you enjoyed these!!!
Thanks for sharing this to the masses! I was going to just play this in the background while I did a little weekend work from home and got sucked in! 10 years since I graduated and this was so refreshing and inspiring. Thank you Thank you Thank you
Thank you so much for doing this, it's really a treasure. It's one of the best video sets I had ever seem in my life. I will introduce these to all my friends and possibly next generations.
Thank you so much for all the effort. The entire series was informative, perfectly curated, and most of all --entertaining. Hope you are back teaching on-ground.
Dear Man:
I found you by accident at the Art Nouveau episode, so beautiful, and because of how well it was done, went back to the beginning, and now here I am, at the end.
So surprised! Almost as surprised as when I was able to read Michael Lewis' 'Moneyball', because, you know, baseball, not my thing in any life so far. Sign of a very good teacher.
I enjoyed your early episodes, but being perfectly sure I'd drop off, at just about the point where you say 'Industrial design' as a profession began, because I love rich, fat, food and rich, fat furniture, and rich, fat textiles, and I would have Gaudi make the world anew, if it were up to me.
Oh well.
But here I am at the end, and I've paid attention, without pain, (although the chairs, the chairs, the chairs) all the way through, because you teach so very well.
I still abhor most of the post-war aesthetic; so hard, cold, rigid, and nasty colours. But I perceive some opening in my little brain which will have to be revisited.
That's what teachers want, isn't it. It's what I want. So I thank you for your efforts, and undoubted success, and if you're wondering, I expect quite a few of us will be redoing the whole course in January, February.
I'll drop a note..... I hope others will too.
All respect, and many thanks.

Hi Matthew! Thank you for putting these videos out and keeping the spirit that I felt filled the lecture room with electric anticipation back when we were actually in a room listening to you (and everyone's presentations!) These videos have the kind of information that, despite the situation that the series arose from, I'm grateful to be recorded for myself and anyone who wants to learn about design. It is a lot of information, but I feel like there are meaningful connections added to the forest of names in the design canon(s) now thanks to your class.
These vids have gotten an old 30 something wannabe to take up the sketchpad and modeling clay and some basic baby CAD software and rekindle some dreams. Legitimately you reminded me why i wanted to pursue design once and ive been listening to them every day for two weeks at my maintenance/custodial job. I dont know where this is going to go, but at least my house is going to have furniture made and considered by me and my partner. Not quite industrial design, but thank you for reminding me that shit matters.
Watched the entire series....and want to, probably will, watch it again.
Hi, also felt compelled to give thanks for this series like many others as it has been an invaluable source of information and wisdom. I'm looking forward to revisting this from episode 1 very soon. All the best.
Lol. I learned of the Il Conico teapot while in architecture school accompanied by the phrase "here's why architects shouldn't do product design."
I don't want this to be over!!!
Watched'em all. Bless your heart! Greetings from Cologne.
Thank you so much for the lecture! I have watched all 12 weeks this summer! it really helps me with my thesis and works. Looking forward to seeing your other lectures.
Bravo. Loved this series and learned so much. Muchas gracias.
Thank you for putting this entire series on UA-cam. I have learned a lot. I have enjoyed your lecture style. I was never sleepy when I watched. I am not a student but I love to learn. This has been wonderful.🌸
What a brilliant series, thanks you for this.
Another fantastic video! I would have loved to be in your class! Thanks prof!
You ARE in the class!!!! Welcome aboard!
I just binged this whole course after finding it through some video of yours that was trending. Thank you for letting us audit the course. Super entertaining presentation! Hoping things are back to normal where you are.
To add on to the end of the lecture, ID is beautiful because it is open ended. I recently found out Shigeru Miyamoto studied Industrial Design but he ended up making some of the most beloved video game characters of all time.
Thank you for sharing such great content!
I am just fond of you ...thank you
Thanks so much for sharing this course on UA-cam for all of us to enjoy! I learned so much. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thank you Matthew! What am I going to do now!?!!!! Have to find more information!!!
Thank you so much for all the effort you put into creating these UA-cam videos! I‘ve learnt so much from these!
48:54 I'd like amplify this: "Inevitable outcome is never the result of a smart person sitting with a computer or a pen, it's always the outcome of effort. Hundreds and hundreds of models were created, tested, revised..."
It's easy to see the outcome of a design process and say, oh that's so simple, why did it take so long to come up with that? Or, I could have done that in an afternoon! Sure you could have done it in an afternoon AFTER YOU SEE THE FINISHED PRODUCT!
AGREED!!!!!!! Thanks!
Thank you very much! These lectures are amazing! I look forward to seeing how 3D printing will change the design and manufacturing of everyday objects.
Thank you so much for posting these lectures on youtube! Been watching all of them including your other videos about tools and exhibitions. (couldn't stop...) Wow I've learned a lot! Amazing presentations and really interesting analysis of a lot of topics. Makes me want to pursue an education in industrial design:) Think my favourite episodes was the one about funny looking cars or the one about Eileen Gray or maybe the silk spiders. Just all amazing lectures!
Thank you so much for sharing those amazing lectures !!!
Very Inspiring finish to this series! Thank you again for sharing this work Matthew.
Thank you, made it this far. The best episode is the last. Ended too soon
Amazing lectures, really appreciate all the knowledge effort and good energy!
This was about to end on a horribly depressing note about celebrity culture and instead ended on empowerment with universal design. Thank god for that.
Yo this channel is lit
Thank you.
Thank YOU very much 😁
Would you consider making a video about ethics in design? I feel like designers can have such a positive impact on the world if they ‘play their cards right’! Also, thank you for all these informative, engaging, and inspiring videos this semester, I hope to hear more from you post-Corona, too!
THANK YOU!
Awesome and informative. These lectures are a lot of work! (Ask me how I know.) What program are you using for these presentations?
I use a program called ScreenFlow for editing, and record the audio separately, though now I can't remember what problem I encountered that led me to do so....
Awesome series of lectures thank you Matthew. Smashed through in a few weeks, with the addition of a couple tubs of ice cream. Perfect way to brush up on my ID history during lockdown here in Melbourne Australia. Was much too young to really appreciate this content in my uni days. Would a lecture on Nicola Tesla inventions in your repertoire?
Funny thing is that I was doing 2D drawings on computer while listening to this video (peeking from time to time, must admit).
thank you!
I am quite curious about Farber, why did he call his company for Copco and why should the products being manufactured in Denmark?
Man... You are an awesome prof. undoubtedly. Please suggest books for reference. Some accessible pdfs? I'm from India and love your lectures. Wannabe a designer that helps the world as it is. I'm graduating in Mech. Engg. Help me become a better ID. Any suggestion would do . Thanks for the amazing voice and videos.
Maybe some good suggestions here:
