This fascinating episode begins with the etymology of the Italian word “mobilia”, then continues into the historical evolution of furniture design, current trends, material innovation, the complexities of sustainability, and the importance of deep research. Furniture is not singular or monolithic, and neither is this conversation with our guest, a renowned Icelandic industrial designer based in New York City, which explores what it means to design for human living in so many diverse public and private spaces. | S6 E5
