Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes of The Learning Leader Show Sign up for "Mindful Monday" (it's free) - https://ryanhawk.kit.com/profile My guest for episode #618 is Chase Jarvis. Chase is a photographer, director, artist, and entrepreneur. He was the CEO of an online education platform called Creative Live from 2014 to 2022. He's earned countless awards for his photography and creative work including a Pulitzer Prize for a New York Times story he contributed to called “Snow Fall.” He's also the author of multiple books including Creative Calling and Never Play It Safe. Notes: Opening Joke: "What has 52 teeth and holds back a monster?" We are all wildly creative. It is trained out of us as we grow older. Creativity is foundational to all human beings. It's on us to tap into our creativity and get it out of us to help solve problems, to create optionality, and to be innovative. Regardless of your job, becoming more creative will make you better at it. Play infinite games with transformational people. It seems like when we give to others, genuinely try to help them, and have a service orientation, good things happen to all. There are transactional people and transformational leaders. Let's strive to be transformative and play the long game with high-character people.  Transactional leaders are infuriating. Transformational leaders are inspiring. “A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because its trust is not on the branch, but on its own wings.” Believe in yourself and your ability to bounce back if the thing doesn't go your way. Set up a series of experiments. Not all of them will work. You'll be better for having tried, and tried again, and then again. We learn from both our successes and our failures. Initially, Chase planned to attend medical school after graduating from undergrad. A few weeks before his graduation, his grandfather died and left all his photography equipment to his grandson. “Security is mostly superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” - Helen Keller "Safety is an illusion. It does not exist in nature, so why then do we seek it? "Playing it safe is about fear. And fear is only optimized for survival--not creativity, happiness, joy, connection, harmony, fulfillment, or any of the gifts you have to give or receive in this life." Intuition is everything. What if we started paying attention to that? "I don't know why they call us founders. I didn't find anything. I built that shit. We are builders." There are 7 basic levers for life: Attention Time – NYU Professor James Carse. Finite and infinite games. Treat life like an infinite game. What's the difference between systems and schedules? (why are systems better?) Intuition – The benefits of compounding trust. Chase's wife Kate. First met on a beach just after high school. Sparks were present, but no fire. “She had a special quality I couldn't quite place.” Went to college 1,500 miles apart. All along it was your intuition that kept you on notice.  How do you know when it's your intuition speaking? Why is playing it safe the riskiest thing we can do Constraints - What can we learn about constraints from Stefan Sagmeister? Play -  What can we learn about play from Novak Djokovic? Failure - Melissa Arnot Reid – Replaces the word “fail” with the word “live” – Instead of saying “I'm afraid to fail. She says I'm afraid to live.” Practice - Purposeful practice. Anders Ericsson Keynote speaking - Don't be a robot. Have fun. Let it rip. Results are better in a better state of mind. Do tiny experiments when the stakes are low.

"Something that's good has the chance to make a real impression. Something that's mediocre doesn't. So why do the work if it's not gonna make an impression?" - Stefan Sagmeister A candid conversation with renowned designer Stefan Sagmeister about his journey from creating theater posters in Vienna to becoming a celebrated designer in New York. He discusses the evolution of his career, the importance of sabbaticals in creative growth, and his deep insights into happiness and creative fulfillment. The interview reveals how strategic pauses and intentional career shifts have shaped his work and perspective on life.Key Takeaways:Early success came through meaningful connections and being open to opportunitiesTaking regular sabbaticals (every 7 years) has been crucial for creative evolution and preventing stagnationTrue happiness often emerges from improving relationships and pursuing meaningful work rather than direct pursuitSetting limitations and constraints can lead to better creative outcomes than complete freedomCommercial success shouldn't prevent you from making major career pivots when neededFear of change (like taking sabbaticals) often proves unfounded when you take the leapThe definition of happiness varies by timeframe - from momentary pleasure to long-term meaningSelf-improvement and happiness shouldn't be pressured pursuits but natural outcomes of meaningful workBeing known in design circles brings mostly advantages without the drawbacks of true fameThe best creative opportunities often come from doing quality work rather than chasing commercial success Mindful Creative: How to understand and deal with the highs and lows of creative life, career and business Paperback and Kindle > https://amzn.to/4biTwFcFree audiobook (with Audible trial) > https://geni.us/free-audiobookSigned books https://novemberuniverse.co.ukLux Coffee Co. https://luxcoffee.co.uk/ (Use: PODCAST for 15% off)November Universe https://novemberuniverse.co.uk (Use: PODCAST for 10% off)

Vor kurzem hatte ich eine E-Mail von ihm im Postfach, in der er von einer Ausstellung in der Ukraine schrieb. So gerade sicherlich schon heikel genug, aber die Ausstellung, um die es ging ist Now is Better, ein Projekt, an dem er schon eine Weile arbeitet und mit dem er verdeutlichen will, dass alles in allem die Welt ein besserer Ort wird. Und ich dachte mir, klar, in Manhattan oder Hong Kong kann man die Message gut rüberbringen, aber wie wird das wohl in einem Land wahrgenommen, das sich gerade im Krieg befindet? 

How does long-term thinking influence creativity?Rei sits down with renowned designer Stefan Sagmeister to explore how the interpretation of data through art can shift public consciousness towards optimism. The episode places particular emphasis on Stephan's exhibition “Now is Better,” which centers around the idea of long-term thinking of humanity's progression. The conversation dives into Stephan's underlying philosophies throughout his design process, belief in “low-function design”, and thoughts on balancing beauty and functionality.Stefan Sagmeister has designed for clients as diverse as the Rolling Stones, HBO, and the Guggenheim Museum.

Kilga - Wir sprechen über ein Familienunternehmen der ganz besonderen Art. Wir sprechen über die Entwicklung von einem Möbelhaus zu einer Designagentur. Seit drei Generationen steckt das Wort “Design” in den Köpfen der Familie Kilga. Bereits in den 70er-Jahren wurde die Idee eines Concept Stores vorweggenommen, indem die Großmutter und der Großvater von Lorenz Kilga ein Möbelgeschäft mit einem Café verbanden. Dieser Ort ist der Ausgangspunkt für die spätere Möbelagentur Kilga, die 1988 gegründet wurde. Hier fungierte der Vater von Lorenz als klassischer Vermittler zwischen Herstellern und Händlern. Die Familien-DNA des Versuchens und des Hinterfragens sorgte schlussendlich dafür, dass im Jahr 2018 die holistische Agentur “Design Network” mit Fokus auf der strategischen Markenentwicklung gegründet wurde.  Im Podcast-Interview spricht Lorenz Kilga mit Podcast-Host Robert Pacher über die Ideologie, Schönheit, Geschmack, Strategie und das Warum. ⬇️ **Lorenz Kilga** Co-Founder & Creative Soul bei Design Network GmbH

Unser heutiger Gast erblickte 1962 in Bregenz, Österreich das Licht der Welt. Er studierte Grafikdesign an der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien und erhielt später ein Fulbright-Stipendium für ein Studium am Pratt Institute in New York. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch seine innovativen und provokativen Designs im Bereich der Albumcover, Plakate und Bücher. Schon 1993 gründete er ein Designstudio in New York City. Seine Arbeiten zeichnen sich durch experimentelle Techniken und oft auch durch den Einsatz seines eigenen Körpers aus. Eines seiner berühmtesten Werke ist ein Albumcover für die Rolling Stones und ihr Album „Bridges to Babylon“. Er ist auch für seine Sabbaticals bekannt, bei denen er alle sieben Jahre eine einjährige Pause von der Arbeit nimmt, um sich persönlichen Experimenten und dem Nachdenken über sein Leben und seine Arbeit zu widmen. Diese Pausen haben ihn dazu inspiriert, das Thema Glück in seinem Design zu erforschen, was in seiner Ausstellung „The Happy Show“ sowie in dem Film „The Happy Film“ mündete. Er hat zahlreiche Preise gewonnen, darunter Grammy-Auszeichnungen für seine Albumcover. Er ist auch in der Lehre tätig und hält weltweit Vorträge über Design und Kreativität. Immer wieder hat er die Grenzen in der Designwelt überschritten. Sein einzigartiger Ansatz und seine Philosophie haben ihn zu einem der einflussreichsten Designer seiner Generation gemacht. In seinen aktuellen Werken und Arbeiten arbeitet er mit der These, dass heute besser als früher ist. Seit fast 7 Jahren beschäftigen wir uns mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt - statt ihn zu schwächen. In über 400 Folgen haben wir uns mit über 500 Menschen darüber unterhalten, was sich für sie geändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Wir sind uns ganz sicher, dass es gerade jetzt wichtig ist. Denn die Idee von “New Work” wurde während einer echten Krise entwickelt. Welche Rolle spielen Kreativität und Design dabei? Und warum glaubt unser Gast, dass es heute besser als früher ist? Wir suchen nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen! Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work - heute mit Stefan Sagmeister

Bevor ich meinen heutigen Gast kennengelernt hatte, hatte ich erstmal sein Buch in die Finger bekommen. In »Teaching Graphic Design« spricht Ingmar Thies mir anderen Lehrenden über das Lehren und unter anderem waren da auch ein paar alte Bekannte mit dabei, wie Stefan Sagmeister und Erik Spiekermann. Letztes Jahr besuchte ich ihn dann mal in Wien an der Angewandten, wo er unterrichtet und jetzt haben wir es endlich mal geschafft, gemeinsam eine Folge aufzunehmen. 

Iconic graphic designer, typographer, author, and educator Stefan Sagmeister joins live on the CreativeMornings stage to talk about his multi-decade, ever-evolving career and his newest book, Now is Better, transforming facts about the state of our world into abstract data visualizations.

Es ist noch garnicht lange her, dass ich Stefan Sagmeister in Wien getroffen hatte (das war in Folge 146), aber er war mir noch seine Tipps für den Newsletter schuldig und das haben wir dann einfach nachgeholt, als er mal wieder für ein paar Tage am Stück in seiner Wahlheimat New York war. 

Stefan Sagmeister, Grafikdesigner, Weltverschönerer und Ikone einer ganzen Generation von Designern im Gespräch mit Ali Mahlodji über sein neuestes Buch “NOW IS BETTER”, seine Jugend und seinen Weg, einer der einflussreichsten Gestalter seiner Zeit zu werden, der neben vielen Auszeichnungen auch zwei Grammys gewann. Das Gespräch fand im Rahmen der gemeinsamen Tour “BETTER IS NOW” statt und ist in englischer Sprache geführt. Hier gehts zum neuesten Buch von Stefan Sagmeister: https://www.amazon.com/Now-Better-Stefan-Sagmeister/dp/1838666966 https://www.instagram.com/stefansagmeister

Es war mal wieder soweit. Stefan Sagmeister und ich waren beide für das Forward Festival in Wien und haben die Gelegenheit beim Schopfe gepackt und uns endlich für die langerwartete Fortsetzung unseres Gesprächs vor zwei Jahren getroffen. 

This week Claire meets up with a personal design hero of hers – Stefan Sagmeister. Stefan talks about his experiences of working with Lou Reed and The Rolling Stones, On the importance of finding something in your life that you're good at, and working on it to be better, on creative sabbaticals (Stefan has one every 7 years) and his time working with Jessica Walsh.Links:Red SetterdbaSTEFAN SAGMEISTERSAGMEISTER & WALSHPodcast Editing by Stick and Splice

With everything that's been happening lately, you'd think things are getting worse, not better. But here's the thing. Despite these challenging times, life has improved for the vast majority of people – from lower levels of crime to higher life expectancy around the world. It's encouraging stats like these that form the basis of Stefan Sagmeister's new book, Now is Better, and the focus of this week's episode. One of the world's most celebrated living designers, Sagmeister's exploration of human progress through the ages was inspired by a pessimistic conversation with a friend. Like many of us, his pal believed life was better in the "good old days" and that everything's got gloomier since then. But actually, that's simply not true. If you look at the facts, the world is more prosperous, people are living longer, and generally, things are better than they used to be. Sagmeister took it upon himself to prove his friend wrong in his latest creative project and used historical art and data visualisation to paint a rosier picture of how far we've come. "I found the phenomenon of a highly educated person, so influenced by the daily news cycle that he carries a completely wrong view of the world, fascinating," says Stefan. "From a communication-design point of view, it seemed an interesting direction to tackle." In showing us a more optimistic angle, he urges us to choose gratitude and positivity over pessimism and despair. And that's important, not just for our happiness and mental well-being but our drive and energy to create, too. Sagmeister formed the New York-based Sagmeister Inc. in 1993 and has since designed for clients as diverse as the Guggenheim Museum, the Rolling Stones, and HBO. His work is in museum collections worldwide, and he teaches in the graduate department of the School of Visual Arts in New York. We hope today's conversation with Sagmeister inspires you to think about the future with much-needed hope.

Stefan Sagmeister hat für so unterschiedliche Kunden wie die Rolling Stones, HBO und das Guggenheim Museum entworfen. Er ist zweifacher Grammy-Gewinner und hat praktisch jeden wichtigen internationalen Designpreis gewonnen. Stefan spricht über die großen Themen unseres Lebens wie Glück oder Schönheit, wie sie mit Design zusammenhängen und was das eigentlich für unseren Alltag bedeutet. Er hat fünfmal auf der offiziellen TED-Konferenz gesprochen und gehört damit zu den drei am häufigsten eingeladenen TED-Rednern. Seine Bücher verkaufen sich zu Hunderttausenden, und seine Ausstellungen wurden in Museen auf der ganzen Welt gezeigt. Seine Ausstellung "The Happy Show" zog weltweit weit über eine halbe Million Besucher an und wurde zur meistbesuchten Grafikdesign-Show der Geschichte. Der gebürtige Österreicher erwarb seinen MFA an der Universität für angewandte Kunst in Wien und, als Fulbright-Stipendiat, einen Master am Pratt Institute in New York.

Somewhere in those big hardback books of collected design that we had around the studios in which I studied, or perhaps it was in the 'Handwritten' book of collected hand lettering, I found the work of Stefan Sagmeister - the infamous talk poster for which he'd carved the information into his own torso. His reputation as a great designer is more than earned. Since 1993, working out of New York, he has created work for The Rolling Stones, HBO, Lou Reed, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum through Sagmeister Inc. His new book, 'Now is Better', out on October 4th with Phaidon is a tonic to the doom and gloom spirit of 24-hour news cycles and social media. It's a thing of visual beauty, but also promotes long-term thinking and perspective, so we can be better, happier, and more creative people to address the problems we face. We discuss these themes and more. The book will remain on my coffee table for the days when I get the blues! Photograph by James Braund.

This artistic icon is something of a graphic design daredevil. Or perhaps a prophet. Through his wildly inventive works, he challenges conventions and communicates ideas that can alter the way we perceive society. On this episode, Dan speaks with the legendary creative on his latest book, “Now Is Better,” why he's much happier than his documentary, “The Happy Film,” suggested he is, and reflects on his successes and admiration for book publisher Phaidon that is celebrating its 100th anniversary.

Dank einer gewonnenen Wette kommt Stefan Sagmeister als Teenager das erste Mal nach New York, 1981. „Ich wusste gleich: das ist die Stadt für mich.“ Aufgewachsen in Bregenz am Bodensee, als jüngstes von sechs Geschwistern, über dem familieneigenen Bekleidungsgeschäft, zieht es den jungen Stefan schnell hinaus: „mit der Vespa nach München, zum Studieren nach Wien, nicht nach Innsbruck, was näher gewesen wäre. Aber dann habe ich gemerkt: Wien ist keine Metropole, sondern 23 aneinanderhängende Dörfer.“ Er designt als allererstes für die Vorarlberger Jugendzeitung „Alphorn“, dann gebt es über Wien, New York und Hongkong, wieder nach New York, diesmal als Fulbright-Stipendiat. 1993 eröffnet er sein eigenes Designstudio.

Appreciating the richness of vintage typography and papers inspires both the sublime graphic design work and the whimsical collage art of Connecticut-based artist AMY GORREK. On the way to developing her own design practice, following stints with various design firms including Martha Stewart Living, Amy has perfected the art of appreciating details, instinctively finding the right balance of necessary and surprise elements. Pulling on her years of helping clients with their branding projects, Amy shares insights on how artists can find their own unique branding elements in the fabric of their artwork. Find Amy: Amy's Website: www.studioagwork.com  Amy's Instagram: @amygorrek Mentioned:Chine Collé / printmaking technique (learn)  Miami Ad School Atlanta, previously Portfolio Center (explore) Martha Stewart Living (explore) John & Kira's Chocolates (learn) (shop) Februllage / annual collage challenge / (learn) Pinkalicious, Elizabeth Kann, author and illustrator (learn) Paula Scher, designer and visual artist (explore) Stefan Sagmeister, designer and visual artist (explore) Matt DeFrain, designer and visual artist (explore)  Find Me, Kristy Darnell Battani: Kristy's Website:   https://www.kristybattani.com Kristy's Instagram:  kristybattaniart Kristy's Facebook:  kristybattaniart  Music:"Surf Guitar Madness," Alexis Messier, Licensed by PremiumBeat.comSupport the show

Stefan Sagmeister has designed for clients as diverse as the Rolling Stones and the Guggenheim Museum. He's a two time Grammys winner and also earned practically every important international design award. While his work is steeped graphics, he has also directed a film, created furniture, made products, designed a watch and ventured into clothing. His books sell in the hundreds of thousands and his exhibitions have been mounted in dozens of museums around the world. His exhibit 'The Happy Show' attracted way over half a million visitors worldwide and became the most visited graphics show in history. A native of Austria, he received his MFA from the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and, as a Fulbright Scholar, a master's degree from Pratt Institute in New York. His motto is “Design that needed guts from the creator and still carries the ghost of these guts in the final execution.”

Hjalti Karlsson vissi ekkert hvert hann væri að fara með líf sitt þegar hann sótti um í Listaháskólanum til þess eins að fá höfnun frá honum. Þrátt fyrir brjálæðislega feimni náði lífið að leiða Hjalta til New York þar sem hann fékk inn í listaháskólann Parsons og þaðan í læri hjá Stefan Sagmeister, virtum hönnuði í New York sem hannaði m.a. plötuumslög fyrir heitustu hljómsveitir samtímans, sem markaði upphaf af glæstum hönnunarferli Hjalta. Hönnunarstofan hans hefur unnið fyrir BMW, Bloomberg, Samsung, Adobe, Parsons og fleiri. Inntak þáttarins blandast í umræðu um rekstur, hönnun, hvernig skal verðleggja vinnu sína, að hafna kúnnunum sem borga best, áhugaverð verkefni, lífið í New York og árásirnar á Tvíburaturnana.

Stefan Sagmeister is a designer whose work over the years delighted and surprised people across the world. He started his studio in 1993 and worked predominantly in the music industry, creating album covers for the likes of The Rolling Stones, David Byrne and Brian Eno. For his work with the latter two, he received two Grammies. He's worked across commercial and cultural projects with partner Jessica Walsh and only in the past few years has withdrawn himself from the agency to focus on non-commercial projects and explore his interests in long-term thinking, beauty and happiness.   And these are some of the key topics of our conversation – long-term thinking, beauty and happiness, but Stefan also offers insights as varied as believing that a team of three creatives would be enough to rebrand a whole country and that Twitter's lack of beauty in its design, affects the nature of the conversations people are having on the platform. A brilliant conversation to kick off a new season of the podcast.   Stefan's website: https://sagmeister.com/ His fashion brand: https://www.sagmeister123.com/ -- This season of the On Design podcast is brought to you by The Conran Shop.

durée : 00:58:45 - Les Cours du Collège de France - Comment classez-vous votre bibliothèque? Quelle est la règle d'or des livres "bons voisins" dans une bibliothèque? le philologue, historien de la littérature, William Marx analyse la plus value d'une bibliothèque par rapport aux livres qu'elle contient. Pourquoi faut-il trouver le livre qu'on ne cherche pas et pourquoi la mémoire est-elle la divinité à laquelle la bibliothèque doit rendre un culte?  William Marx, titulaire de la chaire de "Littératures comparées" nous propose cette semaine et la suivante une passionnante enquête autour "bibliothèques invisibles", bibliothèques mentales qui ne sont pas sans lien, avec les bibliothèques matérielles, - qu'elles soient individuelles et subjectives - ou qu'elles soient institutionnelles, pratiquant un classement décimal, plus ou moins dérivé du fameux système américain Dewey. Nous retrouvons aujourd'hui, encore, la figure de Gabriel Naudé, érudit du XVIIe siècle, qui s'avère le "type même du bibliothécaire pragmatique", tandis que d'extraordinaires images de bibliothèques sont commentées - et je vous invite à les retrouver sur la page de William Marx au Collège de France.  Fin décembre 2020, Marion Vignal a analysé pour le journal Le Monde le grand retour des bibliothèques,  qualifiées de "miroir de notre intimité", "à l'arrière plan des réunions zoom ou des apéros whatApp", par temps d'épidémie et alors qu' "On pensait le concept de bibliothèque de salon devenu désuet à l'ère du tout-numérique". "On a beau posséder les mêmes étagères Billy d'Ikea, les mêmes rangées de Folio ou de Pléiade que le voisin, impossible de trouver deux bibliothèques identiques" note la journaliste. "Certains, écrit Marion Vignal, peuvent se sentir oppressés par des linéaires d'ouvrages et préférer la compagnie de livres errants, selon les mots de Georges Perec. D'autres, au contraire, se délectent de leur profusion. A l'exemple de Serge Ricco, directeur artistique de L'Obs, qui considère son mur de dix mètres (.) saturé de livres, comme un arbre sur lequel se reposer.""Le collectionneur, indique Marion Vignal, a fini par opter pour un classement par couleur, après être tombé sous le charme d'une photo de la bibliothèque arc-en-ciel du designer graphique Stefan Sagmeister, à New York". Serge Ricco a précisé à la journaliste :  "Je retrouve beaucoup plus facilement mes livres depuis que j'ai adopté ce principe chromatique. Cela correspond bien mieux à ma mémoire visuelle". Quant au directeur du Musée des arts décoratifs, Olivier Gabet, il met en avant une bibliothèque "officiellement mal rangée, truffée de petits objets en céramique, et qui obéit à son intuition personnelle" décrit Marion Vignal.Pour Olivier Gabet : "La bibliothèque est un lieu de rencontres. Je range un livre, je tombe sur un autre. Des histoires se tissent."  Et c'est dans cet esprit que William Marx nous initie, aujourd'hui, à une stimulante "théorie énergétique et socio-économique" de la bibliothèque. Le philologue note que "l'énergie dépensée dans le classement se transforme en ordre, et l'ordre, c'est de l'information. L'entropie étant l'état de désordre de la bibliothèque, nous savons que l'entropie augmente quand un livre sort de la bibliothèque, et encore plus quand il n'est pas remis à sa place."Dès lors, de quelle façon l'ordre d'une bibliothèque devient-il information et peut-il éclairer la mémoire? Quelles connexions suscitent les classements ?  Nous gagnons le Collège de France, le 2 mars 2021 pour le cours de William Marx, aujourd'hui "Comment classer une bibliothèque ?" 

We are rebroadcasting some of our favorite episodes while we recharge our batteries with a summer break. Enjoy and we'll be back with fresh episodes soon!Graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister did not care for engineering in high school. He found designing a poster that would communicate a vibe and draw crowds to an event to be way more compelling. After design school, the Austrian native decided that New York is the city that fits him best. With many awards and a big name in his field, he's now focusing on art, exhibitions and taking a sabbatical every 7 years. He's got a brain for planning and long-term data which allows for a very optimistic long view. Images, links and more from Stefan Sagmeister!

Stefan Sagmeister ist Grafikdesigner und ich glaube, man kann ganz klar sagen, dass er einer der bekanntesten Grafikdesigner der Welt ist. Ein bisschen Biografie: Stefan Sagmeister wurde 1962 in Bregenz geboren. 1993, nach seinem Studium und mehreren Agenturaufenthalten, gründete er in New York sein eigenes Studio Sagmeister Inc, um hauptsächlich Plattencover zu gestalten. Und diese Cover kennt man. Er arbeitete unter anderem für die Rolling Stones, die Talking Heads, Jay Z, Lou Reed und wurde mit zwei Grammys ausgezeichnet. Nach sieben Jahren wurde ihm das zu viel. Er hat für ein Jahr sein Studio geschlossen, um ein Sabbatical zu machen, was er nun alle sieben Jahre macht. Nach seiner Rückkehr hat er mit Plattencovern aufgehört und sich größeren Kund*innen geöffnet, vor allem aber auch persönlichen Projekten. Im zweiten Sabbatical entstand die Idee zum Dokumentarfilm “The Happy Film”, in dem er sich auf die Suche nach Glück und Zufriedenheit macht. Die thematisch zugehörige Ausstellung “The Happy Show” konnte man weltweit sehen. Seit einigen Jahren gibt es die zweite Ausstellung “Beauty”. Zusammen mit Jessica Walsh untersucht er darin die “Schönheit”. Stefans außergewöhnliche Design-Arbeiten und seine eigenwillige Kreativität begeistern und inspirieren mich schon seit Jahren. Design und Kunst verschwimmen und berühren mich immer wieder. Dazu schafft er es, sich immer wieder selbst einzubringen, sodass man nur staunen kann. Um Aufmerksamkeit zu erzeugen, hat er zur Eröffnung seines Studios ein Nacktbild von sich an seine zukünftigen Kund*innen geschickt. Wir laufen ein paar biografische Knotenpunkte ab. Ich wollte wissen, was ihn glücklich macht, wie sich seine Kreativität über die Jahre verändert hat. Wir sprechen über Ideenfindung und die Herausforderungen der Umsetzung. Mich hat überrascht, dass er in der Zwischenzeit gar kein großes Studio mehr hat, sondern nur noch mit freien, kleinen Teams arbeitet. Wir sprechen über Design, Kunst, Funktionalität, seine persönliche Bucketlist, es geht um Mut und die Grenzen der kreativen Freiheit. MEIN GAST:
