    153: How we develop our unique design styles
    Sep 26 2024
    Wrapping up this mini-series Kate and Sophie interview each other and get under the skin of their own design philosophies. What is it about brown that turns Kate on? Did Sophie’s parents hide away the colouring crayons leaving her with an unmet need to cover everything in rainbow bright shades? Indeed why do we decorate our homes the way we do. A fascinating insight into how we form our own design DNA that forms our own tastes and sense of home. A huge thank you to Naturalmat for sponsoring this episode of The Great Indoors.

    151: Habitats back! Interview with head of design Andrew Tanner
    Sep 12 2024
    This year is the 60th anniversary of Habitat and today we are thrilled to be chatting to Andrew Tanner, head of design at Habitat who heads up a team of 28 designers who have all been super busy re-issuing and updating iconic archive products as well as creating exciting new ones. We all have our own fond memories of the high street store that delivered exciting fresh designs. At one point it seems everyone had the iconic Tord Boontje garland light. Taking over the legacy laid down by the late Sir Terence Conran, is a big one, but Andrew, who also heads up the design teams at Argos and Sainsburys, is uniquely placed to understand the challenges it has faced in recent years which is how, perhaps we can now say Habitat is back!
