Michael Graves: A Matter Interview

Designing for accessibility is about much more than building ramps - but ramps are a good start. Matter spoke with esteemed architect and industrial designer Michael Graves about how he and his firm clear the path for everybody from the ballroom to the waiting room.

In This Issue

Looking Good and Feeling Better
Think of a world with lamps designed to cheer you up and pharmaceutical packaging that sends reminders to your cell phone. That world is here and now and it comes with a fresh (smelling) take on the humidifier to boot.

Material Bits
Health and wellness apply to our physical as well as our mental and emotional wellbeing. In a few short paragraphs you will see how texture is being used to dampen sound and clean air in a variety of products designed to make interiors better for all of us.

Threading Intelligence into Our Lives
Information is becoming increasingly integrated into our every day lives. Andrew Dent looks at how our own biorhythms are entering the networked world through sensors in everything from trucker hats to sportswear.
