  • 151: Habitats back! Interview with head of design Andrew Tanner
    Sep 12 2024
    This year is the 60th anniversary of Habitat and today we are thrilled to be chatting to Andrew Tanner, head of design at Habitat who heads up a team of 28 designers who have all been super busy re-issuing and updating iconic archive products as well as creating exciting new ones. We all have our own fond memories of the high street store that delivered exciting fresh designs. At one point it seems everyone had the iconic Tord Boontje garland light. Taking over the legacy laid down by the late Sir Terence Conran, is a big one, but Andrew, who also heads up the design teams at Argos and Sainsburys, is uniquely placed to understand the challenges it has faced in recent years which is how, perhaps we can now say Habitat is back!

  • 150: Finding Interior inspiration abroad and closer to home
    Sep 5 2024
    And we are back! Well almost, as this return episode was recorded during the summer break, so why not take our holidays as interior inspiration. Kate is inspired by the pastel palette of Italy which has inspired her new paint range with Graphenstone while Sophie takes a great escape to Bali for some blue skies and jungle greenery. And perhaps the odd snake, spider and lizard thrown in too. And if you haven’t managed to get away this summer, don’t despair. We talk about our favourite TV shows that we’ve been binging, and which sets are influencing our own designs. A huge thank you to Naturalmat for sponsoring this episode of The Great Indoors.
