In this episode, we are continuing on the theme of ‘place’ - the importance of our working environment, co-working spaces, how to express our brand in a physical space and learning from those that inspire us.

Today we have arts, interiors and style writer, Aimee Farrell sharing her thoughts on inspiring workspaces and what we can learn from them. She has writes regularly for a delectable collection of publications including T magazine, the FT, Vanity Fair, British Vogue and How To Spend It.

She is keenly observant and able to intertwine her knowledge of different creative disciplines effortlessly and to great effect. She has explored the creations of sculptures, interior designers, perfume house, artists, creative directors, architects and fashion designers. And, of particular interest today, has been invited into some extraordinary workspaces.

I met Aimee at a wedding years ago and have been quietly in awe of her ever since. I was absolutely delighted, and terrified, when she agreed to come on the podcast so I could ask her all about Margaret Howell, Anya Hindmarch, Faye Toogood and Beata Heuman. I’ll admit to be rather nervous to chat to someone who has interviewed a seemingly endless list of superstar creatives and whose resultant work is as exquisite as it is eclectic.

If you are wondering how your environment impacts you and what you can do to improve it, then you should enjoy this! And failing that, if you want to know who does a regular ‘pizza and purge’, who carefully curates pieces from the beach and who has made their office feel just like a home, then listen to this! And enjoy!
