Hi Clever listeners! We're taking some time to recharge our batteries and welcome in the new year. Please enjoy some of our favorite episodes from 2022. We'll be back in 2023 with some fantastic new episodes!---Industrial designer and founding partner of Barber Osgerby, Jay Osgerby, grew up in a small town in England, with his close-knit multi-generational family and the backdrop of his grandparents' experiences through WWII. His childhood was filled with making things - inspired by his Swiss ancestors' stories of watch and camera making. His parents were incredibly resourceful, whether it was opening a shop together or repurposing curtains when the local cinema closed. This pioneering spirit is something that Jay has carried with him throughout his career - from his studies at RCA where he met long-time business partner and friend, Ed Barber, to designing the 2012 Olympic Torch, to revolutionizing how people work remotely with Soft Work seating. Now, 25+ years into design, Jay reveals the triumphs and tragedies that lined his path and forged his character with candor, humor, and an unflagging optimism that burns bright and steady like the inextinguishable flame of the Olympic Torch.

Designer Edward Barber grew up in a small UK village running around with his brothers, making tree houses, bows and arrows, and drawing. As a teenager, he fell in love with sailing, fixing boats, and photography. He eventually landed in the architecture program at Royal College of Art where in the first week he met Jay Osgerby. The two became fast friends, collaborators and founding partners of Barber Osgerby. In the early years, with some “engineered luck” in the form of Giulio Cappellini, Edward and Jay were fast-tracked in the world of international furniture design. Since then, they’ve gone on to found Universal, an architecture and interior design studio, and Map, focused on tech and industrial design. Having designed everything from stacking chairs with a dynamic tilt aimed at improved learning in schools, to experiential sound installations... carving out his own path has worked out just fine!Images, links and more from Edward Barber!Many thanks to this episode’s sponsors:HelixTo all our designer friends out there, Helix is one of the only “mattress in a box” companies that offers a designer trade discount—and it’s a good one at that!

A podcast about learning to lead for creativity. I'm talking to some inspiring creative leaders with great stories to share about their 'made not born' leadership journey. Today's guest is Jay Osgerby, designer and co-Founder with his partner Ed Barber of acclaimed industrial design studio Barber Osgerby. Thoughtful and modest in style yet fiercely committed to pushing the boundaries of design creativity, Jay leads innovative design collaborations from endlessly recyclable chairs to stunning gallery installations. We talk about how important team dynamics are, always looking forwards not backwards, and why 'think big' is a mantra to lead by. I hope our conversation will give you a little fuel for your own made not born journey.
Gregg Buchbinder is the owner of US-based furniture manufacturer, Emeco. The Electrical Machine and Equipment Company was founded in 1944 and quickly created the 1006 chair for the US Navy. The piece, made out of recycled aluminium, has gone on to become a design classic but its story is far from straightforward. By the time Buchbinder bought the firm from his father in 1998, its factory in Hanover, Pensylvania was on the edge of closure. He pumped its chest with a roster of high profile designers and pieces, starting with the Hudson chair by Philippe Starck in 2000.Since then the company has gone on to work with the likes of Jean Nouvel, Frank Gehry, Michael Young, Jasper Morrison and Nendo to name just a few. Not only that but Emeco has been innovative with its use of materials too. In 2010, the company launched a new version of the Navy Chair made from 111 recycled Coca Cola bottles, finding a new use for plastic that otherwise would have been destined for landfill. Further research into the material led it to produce the On & On chair, designed by Barber Osgerby, and so called because it can be recycled endlessly. This is a company with a singular vision – and that belongs to Gregg. In this episode we talk about: manufacturing during a pandemic; the 77 processes (count ’em) needed to create the Navy chair; why it was made from recycled aluminium; working with the likes of Frank Gehry and Terence Conran; his relationship with his father; the shift in client base from the US military to up-market architects and designers; the effect Starck had on the company; collaborating with everyone from Coca Cola to the local Amish community; and taking copycats to court.

Renowned designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby of Barber Osgerby open up about their lives and careers. If I’m honest the intention was to chat about the role plywood played in their nascent careers but we ended up chewing the fat about (among other things): meeting at the Royal College of Art and nearly being kicked out; not slagging off Richard Rogers; the 'toxicity’ of contemporary design; how the British design scene has changed since they emerged in the ’90s; the importance of collaboration; their obsession with making; oh and why their work definitely, definitely isn’t ‘Blair-ite’. En route we also go into detail about the creation of the Olympic torch for the 2012 Games, the thinking behind their revolutionary Tip Ton chair for Vitra, and their recent On & On stacking chair made of recycled plastic for the US manufacturer Emeco.
Welcome to Podcast no 1, the inaugural, our opener, our maiden trip into the world of Interior design where I’ll be interviewing Naomi Cleaver. Naomi is an interior designer, writer, TV presenter and keynote speaker. In today's episode we get her definition of Interior Design, find out how she made the transition from Design Agent to running her own practice via TV celebrity designer dome. She reveals her approach to designing student accommodation and we discover her love of constraints and why being Design Led is not something to brag about. Naomi Cleaver is an interior designer, writer, TV presenter and keynote speaker As you’ll hear in the Podcast I’ve know Naomi for quite some time. In the late 1990’s she launched Echo Design Agency, which represented amongst others David Adjaye and Olympic torch designers Barber Osgerby and not least…….my old company Forster Inc. While running Echo Naomi began presenting prime time television shows, such as Grand Design’s: Trade Secrets, Other People’s Houses and was the designer on DIY SOS. She shifted into running her own design studio (https://naomicleaver.com/) and her award-winning design work on iQ Shoreditch in 2012 established her ability and she’s been specialising in communal living – Student Accommodation, Co-Living, Co-working, Build to Rent, Later Life and Hotel design ever since. She’s been described as being “responsible for introducing professional interior design to the student housing sector” and Naomi’s work has been described as “warm, eccentric ... clever, idiosyncratic” by Grand Designs Magazine; and “dramatic, witty and just a little bit racy” by Elle Decoration. I met Naomi in the back room of The Globe Hotel (https://www.theglobetopsham.co.uk/) in Topsham, which is close to her Devon home where she lives with her husband.
