Our last designer is José Luis González Cabrero. José Luis is an industrial designer, researcher and design professor at the Facultad del Hábitat, UASLP in México. He has a BFA in Industrial Design from the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí, and attended programs in the US such as the University of Illinois at Chicago and Arizona State University. He has a masters degree in Product Design from the Politenico di Milano where he also became adjunct professor. He enhances industrial design as part of interdisciplinary design studios in Italy, US and Mexico. José Luis currently works for local clients developing projects linked to territory, social participation and sustainability.

His lecture is called The Hidden Stories of our Everyday Objects. All the objects that surround us have amazing stories of how they were designed and manufactured, the complex scenarios where they were imagined and mass produced. They often have shifted into our everyday context and even more, they now are embedded in our lives. Through this lecture we will review some of the icons of design by finding them in unusual environments, with pop culture references such as music videos, films and sitcoms.
