Freddie Yauner was born in 1982 in Stoke Newington, North London. He graduated from Northumbria University in 2005, with a First Class degree in Design for Industry. He graduated this summer from the Design Products course at the Royal College of Art where he acheived an MA with Distinction.
Freddie Yauner designs products that aim to engage and inform. He is concerned with the state of the world through the eyes of designed objects, and creates pieces that use satire as a critique of the current state of design and consumerism.
Yauner's current 'Because We Can' project aims to produce extreme or superlative products, 'the biggest, the best, the fastest'. We want to associate ourselves with objects that pretend to make us better or fulfil our dreams, always offering us more. We are, consciously or unconsciously, allowing ourselves to be told what we need and what will complete our sense of self as we see it in image form, and are content in ‘hyperreal’ space. Self-deception is so easily accepted, that it is almost a necessity.
