Lusting for Objects

From sleek shiny laptops to fast new Mini Coopers and the latest greatest iPhones, we seem to be intrigued by bright, shiny new things - and lust to own them.  Deyan Sudjic, director of the London's Design Museum and author of The Language of Things: Understanding the World of Desirable Objects, tells us why we covet expensive designer goods. Is it aesthetics or just a matter of keeping up with the Joneses?

 

PATT- Deyan Sudjic is speaking tonight at 7 pm at Zocalo Public Square at The Getty Center.

 

Guests:

Deyan Sudjic, director of the London's Design Museum and author of The Language of Things: Understanding the World of Desirable Objects.  He is also the author of "100-City" and "The Edifice Complex."
