The difference between deifying the designer and using the designed object explained by the film Mon Oncle.
In the house designed by the most up o date technology the artistic spirit of people is lost. Because if every move is planed by the designer and by deifying this arrangement the user of a space losses his ability to rearrange the space to his personal need. This condition is visualized in the film called Mon Oncle. The space change needed due to the broken fountain, which makes the former designed space unusable, dramatically finds an end in the same space in a rather comical scene. The total lack of creativity (skill, knowledge or what you want to call it) to design spaces according to personal needs makes it impossible to shelter somewhere else as just one place is designed to do the job of sitting with guests.
By also showing the other extreme of totally changing the designed space according to personal needs the film points out the difference between deifying the designer and using the designed object.
For example the uncel of the kid flips the unusable sofa around to create a comfortable sleeping situation. The huge contrast between the uncel who can give spaces different usages and the couple who just follows the designed work blindfolded is shown in a saddening humor.
This is also clearly seen in the kitchen scenes as (again) a rather important difference in usage is seen. The uncel who approaches the technologyand design by trying to get to the bottom of it gets different results then the couple having no objectives.
The same dramatic humor is also seen in the scenes with the chairs. The father who can sit into the chair without questoning the form he is put in too, can use it even for the most serious of business talks. Opposite to that the uncel sits into the chair and intuitionally decides its not a very desirable shape to be put into.
