The Crit #29: Let Offices Be Offices
“Goodbye Honey, we’re off to the Disegno Lab” said our hosts as they headed to work to record June’s episode of The Crit.
In this episode, hosts Oli Stratford and India Block peer into Apple’s Vision Pro headset; ponder the potential of an exhibition about email newsletters; celebrate (Disegno’s own) Johanna Agerman Ross being announced as the new chief curator of the Design Museum; unpack Space 10’s foldable sofa; and humbly plug our new issue of Design Reviewed #2 with a sneak peek at a few stories.
The episode also includes a special interview with Ilona Gaynor, discussing her project The Labour of Sleep, which culminated an eight hour film reflecting on slumbering’s links with capitalism, commerce and worker’s rights.
Unfold your sofa and tune in for all this and more.
