Kendall Robbins

My conversation with Orsola de Castro and Kendall Robbins started with Orsola’s confession “I’m a recovering fashion designer”.   Whilst the Fashion Revolution’s campaign is a positive force for good, it’s a tragedy that inspired its existence.

A horrific event which could have been prevented made even worse through the fact that the clothes produced at the factory at the time still reached the consumers, who never realised the true cost of their new garments.

Michael Anastassiades

We kick off the 2020 interviews with my first guest - designer Michael Anastassiades. Michael shares with me his creative journey with the 80s as a starting point of our conversation - the time when Michael studied both engineering and design and wasn't satisfied with either. Things changed in the early 90s when Michael got his house on London Waterloo's Lower Marsh and started to split his time between teaching art, designing "psychological" objects and... being a yoga instructor. The decades that followed saw him grow to become one of the most loved lighting designers, creating minimalist pieces through his own studio practice as well as collaborating with renowned brands such as FLOS.  You will love Michael's story, his humble manner, and fascination with creativity.

Beatie Wolfe

“When what you do is what you love it’s just wonderful doing that.” That was the start of my conversation with Beatie Wolfe – a musician, storyteller and an innovator. Beatie always had a deep love of music, art, design and storytelling – creativity in every sense. She started writing songs at the age of seven. Also at that time, she found her parents’ vinyl collection. For her, these were musical books – a tangible gateway into the world of the album. From then on, for Beatie, the music and its tangible and visual experiences were interconnected.  That’s how for her debut album 8ight she created a pioneering 3D Interactive Album App and also created a ‘Palm Top Theatre’ – a modern rendition of the 1980s viewfinder – on which you could watch 8ight’s interactive visuals filmed by Weavers Productions. From then on, a technologically advanced portfolio of projects followed: The Montagu Square Musical Jacket, world’s first NFC Album Deck, beaming her album Raw Space into space as well as creating the world’s first live 360° AR experience, produced in collaboration with Nokia Bell Labs and Design I/O. Listen to our conversation to find out more about Beatie's music, her multi-disciplinary innovations and her wish to foster daily 'ceremonies' and our connections with one another.

Brodie Neill

I met the gifted designer Brodie Neill at FORA Central Street, a stone’s throw from his London studio. Throughout our conversation, two things became quickly apparent – Brodie’s passion for materials—regardless of their origin or preciousness—and a strong belief in the circular economy. He is also on a mission to raise awareness of the issue of plastic ocean waste. In our discussion, he points out that the issue of plastic is that of addiction and the wider concept of throwaway culture - the ease of use blinds us from seeing the alternative solutions. He also believes that the attitudes have to change, from those which perceive recycled products and materials as inferior and cheap to treat them as equally valuable and precious as the freshly-manufactured counterparts. An insightful listen and an inspiring voice in the wider circular design conversation.   Presented by Justyna Green Music by James Green

You don't have to like tennis to like this. There is so much to learn from how this rivalry made each player better. This series explores the unique tennis rivalry between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal-- two very different players, both exceptional, in pursuit of perfection. Swiss-born Roger Federer was seemingly born with a racquet in his hand and at a young age he quickly masters the game, but what he needs to reach the top is to learn how to master his emotions. Meanwhile, Spaniard Rafael Nadal learns the game under the tutelage of his uncle Toni on the clay courts of Mallorca, where the decision to make him a left-handed player separates him early from his competition.
