Description

Next in our Architecture Series - From Lego to Skyscrapers, Vince speaks to industrial designers’ Henry Wilson and David Caon; friends turned co-founders of Laker Studio to design sustainable, functional objects for the home and workplace.
 
But how do you balance everyday function and sustainability when our needs for life constantly change? In this episode, they uncover the duo’s early encounters with design, and why understanding how we live day-to-day has helped them design sustainable objects for life.
 
From Wilson’s famous A-Joint joinery systems and his bespoke interiors for Aesop, to Caon’s time working with Marc Newson in Paris and his award-winning cabin interiors for the flagship Airbus A380 – the pair’s collaboration at Laker Studio has taken their practice to new depths.
 
Find out how deep they go.
