View Details Critic Reviews for Abstract: The Art of Design Season 1 All Critics (6) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (0) It is fascinating to see this sort of focus applied to the creation of what we might otherwise take for granted, and appreciate not just the art, but the artist behind this work. Apr 25, 2017 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Liz Shannon Miller indieWire Top Critic If the first season of "Abstract" settles the question of design's cool cultural status, maybe it can also lead to a new version of the conversation (in Season 2?) about what design is, and why we should care. Mar 24, 2020 | Full Review… Rob Walker New Yorker Top Critic It is impressive enough to leave you wishing it might have dug deeper and been a shade less boosterish about its subjects. Mar 24, 2020 | Full Review… Christopher Hawthorne Los Angeles Times Top Critic Insightful design docu highlights innovators, has cursing. May 18, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media It's also a ton of fun, with lots of great nuggets of info - like the influence Paris' Pompidou Center had on Nike design - that you'll likely find yourself telling others at work and parties after you've watched the series. Mar 24, 2020 | Full Review… Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily "Abstract" is an invigorating series showing how much thought and effort goes into the objects in our lives, both the grand and the everyday.

Shady A Nov 06, 2017 Little quirky, dazzled with funky animation and cinematography. Lacks the poise and elegance of Chef's Table. It's quirky nature often makes me wonder why am I watching this. Nonetheless it attracts people like me who likes art and design. Akm N Jun 09, 2017 thank you netflix. gave me a very positive vibe zacharias s Mar 25, 2017 "Abstract" take us to the minds of this amazing designers that in her own perception of desing are guiding us through their personal abstract process, in order to archive great desing. It`s also really personal in the way that this artist are presenting their own lives, desires, and even sometimes fears, and how all of this, encourage and inspire themselfs in order to create a magnificent piece of art. That gets designated desing. Saul R Mar 02, 2017 Episode 1: A new unique show that really show the other side of something I've never seen before. I can tell how difficult it was for both the artist and director to figure out how to fill an hour, but every moment still managed to be unique, moving and inspirational. Utterly amazing! Episode 4: This episode was VERY INTERSTING BUT I DID FIND IT BORING AT TIMES. I really admire BJARKE and how he's changing architecture and was surprised to learn how out of the box some architects think. This provided me with a perspective iI had never come across before. Daniel O Feb 12, 2017 an absolute must-watch if you're into any design form and surely one of the best tv series/documentary Netflix productions released so far.
