Design Tangents

It takes a certain kind of compatibility to be creative collaborators and for those who are life partners as well—like hosts and COOL HUNTING founders Josh and Evan—even more nuanced. That’s one of the reasons they were especially excited to visit artists Nick Cave and Bob Faust in their Chicago studio and home to dig into their respective creative process and the Venn diagram of their community activism, personal and joint work, and their private lives. In this episode you'll hear how upcycled knitwear brought Nick and Bob together, how they support each other’s work, fostering community, developing projects that create an impact and toward the end, a fashion vision we all want to see manifest!

Conversations about data can be pretty dry, but not when you’re talking to Giorgia Lupi—an information designer and partner at world renowned design firm Pentagram. In this episode we get to hear her passion for crafting data into humane, engaging and exciting visualizations and the opportunities for data to enhance creativity as well. She even uses data to track things in her personal life—like dating! Giorgia flips the script a couple times asking Josh and Evan a few questions and the resulting conversation offers a bit of background about COOL HUNTING. pentagram.com/about/giorgia-lupi giorgialupi.com/publications twitter.com/giorgialupi instagram.com/giorgialupi coolhunting.com/tag/giorgia-lupi/ Discover more shows from SURROUND at surroundpodcasts.com.
