I had a great time talking to Jarrett Fuller in the latest episode of his Scratching the Surface podcast, which has just been released. We discussed career paths, our shared love of graphic design, criticism and education, how we made the 4th Istanbul Design Biennial, and ended talking about how design can evolve and change as a discipline. You can listen to the whole episode here! 

Why aren’t all economies circular?

I was thrilled to participate in one of the debates organized during Salone del Mobile 2017 by Disegno magazine and the British Council on the future of European design, which took place at Atelier Clerici. The event was titled “Why aren’t all economies circular?”, and was chaired by Joseph Grima with Sarah Mann, Carl-Johan Skogh and myself.  The talks were characterized by multi-layered, thoughtful and intense discussions – generally countering the superficiality on display for most of the week, and a welcome addition to the programming of Fuorisalone. The three discussions on the future of European design are all available as podcasts on Disegno Daily, and I invite you to listen to all of them!
