Description
I met the gifted designer Brodie Neill at FORA Central Street, a stone’s throw from his London studio. Throughout our conversation, two things became quickly apparent – Brodie’s passion for materials—regardless of their origin or preciousness—and a strong belief in the circular economy. He is also on a mission to raise awareness of the issue of plastic ocean waste. In our discussion, he points out that the issue of plastic is that of addiction and the wider concept of throwaway culture - the ease of use blinds us from seeing the alternative solutions. He also believes that the attitudes have to change, from those which perceive recycled products and materials as inferior and cheap to treat them as equally valuable and precious as the freshly-manufactured counterparts. An insightful listen and an inspiring voice in the wider circular design conversation. Presented by Justyna Green Music by James Green
