you had it right there, kinda, "Canada had to learn to be competitive", but you can immediately see that it failed miserably… Canadian design is like a 3 year-old made your PowerPoint slides for your marketing reunion… it's not even really a thing! take any mishmash of first year design school creations from anywhere around the world, the most generic, and anonymous ones, and you got yourself the Canadian design museum! absolutely, nothing. they've done absolutely, nothing. Zero, nilch, nada… this show got me twice now, it seems interesting, but you hear the word "Canadian", and you know you switched channels for nothing, because there's nothing to see in there… waste of time again… never fails to disappoint!
9:12, that's exactly what i mean… look at that, "globalism" as expressed by a three year old on PowerPoint… i certainly ain't the only person to see it that way…
again, "it didn't have a particular appeal, or a particular aesthetic"… at least they're being honest! still, to the average person it sounds like they have something to say about it…
Umbra, making the Canadian economy of circular paper-pushing more playful, and whimsical… all kindergarten office garbage in the 90s, people probably look at that today thinking they were ahead of their time, when they're probably in fact responsible for millions of lost man hours in offices across the country from people not taking their jobs seriously anymore because Bridget brought it a Post-It tree…
that trash can, it's been shown several minutes already…
"a sexy finish" for a trash can, oh man… the people from 1970 aren't buying office trash cans anymore… also, is that really the place? the interview, i mean… just like, wrong canvas, all the time…
sorry, this is now Mystery Design Theater 1990…
"i had so much trouble with the clunky software that's the best i could come-up with"
it's recognizable as a upscaled design copy of a waiting room chair from the 80s, yeah…
special mentions, or encouragements are awards now?
it's copies! it's not design! it's the Simmons of interior design!
yeah, things that come in many different fabric options really shouldn't be considered "interior design", more like industrial design, maybe!
almost the end of the show, we saw an office chair, and a garbage can! two pieces!
i could've opened a Staples flyer!
oh man it's finally over… i still want that refund, though..!
