Late in 2023 I started working on the kernel of an idea: what if I took the products, gear, and technology that I thoroughly enjoy to use and developed a series of interviews with founders and creators that explored the philosophy behind their iconic design. More than just admiring the aesthetics and value of the work, what if I explored the stories behind how these products are created? Are there common forces or threads that tie together good design? What makes products (and their creators) successful?
While I may not have unearthed answers to all of these questions, I do feel like I’ve made a dent in this space, a small careful path carved through the ocean of products and technology that exist in the world.
I’m excited for you to join me in this journey of looking behind the design of some thoughtful and creative brands, products, and technology, including: Aer, Teenage Engineering, ELAC, Daylight Computer, Pioneer Carry, AJOTO, and more. I’m excited to see what we might see (and discover) together.
Godspeed!
