Benjamin Edgar on Navigating Cultural Tipping Points


Listen Later

Benjamin Edgar is a Chicago-based designer who’s been making a lot of very cool things for a very long time. He co-authored the early aughts blog THE BRILLIANCE, founded Boxed Water, and more recently started An Object Company. We talk about the importance of design consistency, how we’re at an inflection point with “phone stuff,” Dieter Rams, bar etiquette, applied design, Adrien Brody’s art, why it’s interesting to know what you’re interested in, Chicago, the sin wave of culture and more.
