Problem solving with product design with Phil Hallett
In this episode, I’m joined by Phil Hallett, Design Manager & Product Designer at Orangebox. Throughout the episode, Phil delves into the challenges of material choices, the evolution of workplace furniture to the delicate balance between trends and timelessness, and how ideas evolve from sketches to prototypes and eventually into fully realised products.
Sustainability takes centre stage here too, as Phil discusses how it influences material choices, supply chain, product life cycles, and the certification process, and with that, the critical role designers play in building trust with clients to ensure we’re all doing the right thing.
Packed with thought-provoking takeaways and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about sustainability, workplace innovation, and the art of design. Plenty of inspiration and practical takeaways for designers, builders, and enthusiasts alike.
I hope you enjoy the episode!
