Not a big fan of cheese, our guest this week, Anna talks moulds with the hosts Asa and Mishal. Not the moulds that could grow on the said cheese but the craft of mould making, as a tool for knowledge generation. While she will soon develop her Master’s project around this analog method that allows one to observe nature, and possibly take care of it. She also goes on to share an unusual, exploratory project with hair. Fallen hair? Hair in your food? What would it be like to have a plate or fork made of some?

Tune in to hair, I mean hear more about the root of this theme and grab some delicious Danish pastries or a hotdog while you’re at it for a wonderfully appetising conversation. You might even get to hear a description of the bottom of a snake!

Mixing the rules from design into his pursuit of art, our guest this week considers himself to be an inventor, a dying title in today’s times. Baptiste, traveled all the way from New Caledonia, changed professions from an engineer to a designer and chose to discover more about design in Scandinavia, even though his own personal style is quite the opposite.

Unafraid of looking at things differently, Baptiste talks about the homogeneity in the consumption of most designer products today. Two words– Manifesting Muskies. Follow the star, jump into the void and tune in to find out what that is!

In this episode our guest Daksh, dives deep into the art of ‘social’ design—beyond aesthetics and functionality, and into the heart of human needs and community impact. For him design isn’t just about making things look good or work well; it’s about discovering new ways to research and dig deeper into the unique needs of the people we're creating for.

He would love for every design to feel universal, but believes it’s not about solving every problem from the top; it’s about planting seeds and allowing communities to flourish on their own terms. After all, every community is unique, and he wouldn’t want to create for the masses—that’s what robots are for.
