Hello and welcome to the Entrepreneurs on Monocle Radio.
The show all about inspiring people, innovative companies and fresh ideas in global business.
Today's show is all about intentionality and slow design.
First, we'll meet a New York based interior designer who champions a traditional approach to craftsmanship and inspiration.
I worked hand in hand with actual designers.
You learn so much about the quality of the textiles.
I think that's where I really first got my education in that.
And I'll be joined by Monocle's design editor, Nick Moniz for an industry forecast.
What have you got for us, Nick?
We'll be talking architecture, materiality, furniture and more.
Tom.
I can't wait.
Looking forward to that.
This is the Entrepreneurs with me.
Tom Edwards.
