Rune and Kristian are the Danish founders of Berlin-based sustainable fashion startup POOL. Like „Spotify for clothes“ they offer an inspiring range of fashion pieces to expand your boundaries of style and try out something new. 

Having worked in fashion for a long time, Rune decided it was time to fix the industry. While fashion brands are still stuck in the system, POOL has been set up to change existing patterns of behaviour and create a systemic change for a more sustainable world.

What we talked about:
3.33 Checkin: What is your favorite fashion piece at the moment?

6.33: Endless access to High-end Menswear: The concept of POOL

12:45 Changing User Behaviour and the Importance of sustainable business models for the Fashion Industry

17:25 The Cultural aspect of fashion and the reasons to start POOL

22.45 The next goals: Berlin has been a perfect starting point but Europe is next

27:46 The effect of renting out fashion - Why spend so much money on a statement piece you only wear once? 

35:57 Where the idea for POOL came from and insights into the broken fashion industry

42:42 Kristian’s and Rune’s goals for 2021

LFCA is an entrepreneurial community that drives climate action and has already won more than a thousand companies around Europe to support their cause.

In this week’s podcast Pär is back and we dive right into a very spontaneous talk about how we can use design to solve complex business challenges. Inspired by an article in Harvard Business Review (https://hbr.org/2019/03/the-right-way-to-lead-design-thinking) we elaborate on the role of Leadership when introducing new thought models as Design Thinking or new processes as Design Sprints. 

We discuss how a designer’s approach can help solve problems in order to build more successful and more meaningful products and services for our customers and what you as a Leader need to know to guide your teams along a new path.

1:48 Checkin about existential issues 😅

5:21 The role of design in our business world - what does that even mean?

This is a very special podcast episode. First, we are recording from our office in Copenhagen and then we have a guest again. But he is not just A guest, he is THE Mikael Colville-Andersen. 

Mikael is “The Pope of Urban Cycling”, once born in Canada, now a native citizen of Copenhagen. He works as an Urban designer with his own company and mobility expert all over the world and also hosts an urbanism documentary television series called “The Life-Sized City”. Mikael has held multiple talks around the world about the importance of cycling in the city, including two TED talks and he has published several books, among them “Copenhagenize - the definitive guide to global bicycle urbanism”. 

Chris chats with Mikael about how our cities have been changed in the past century, how Copenhagen and Amsterdam have become the role-models for urban planning worldwide and how we as citizens can re-conquer urban space. We talk in detail about how design is the answer to urban challenges why the strategy of cross-pollinating ideas in multi-diverse urban planning teams is the ultimate key.

This autumn, Mikael’s book „Copenhagenize - the definitive guide to global bicycle urbanism“ is being published in German language. Until then you can buy the English version here.

This meeting outline can be used for a mass of different goals and issues. Take all or just some of our discussed methods and try it yourself. As a guideline, we have published a free Miro Board for you. Just grab it, listen to our latest episode and follow us along.
