The journey is often much more interesting than the result itself. Lodes is an example of exponential growth, tapping into market needs while keeping true to their identity. The person behind the evolution of a 75 year old company is Massimiliano Tosetto, and in this episode on the podcast he talks about how he got where he is and the way he sees the industry evolving. This is a small clip of an hour long conversation. For more please refer to the channel page.

There's a big misconception in the Western hemisphere regarding where Chinese companies (and customers) stand. I hear often comments such as "Chinese are evolving" and I make a point of pointing out that "no, Chinese have evolved, and now they are setting the path". I had the chance back in September to speak with Iñaki Amate about this and more. He has extensive experiences in helping clients with design services and he took time from his busy schedule to share some ideas with me. 🎥 Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/g7xhDVRh 🎧 Listen (or watch) the full episode on Spotify: https://lnkd.in/ggvP9i2p If you like this video please share it, subscribe or leave us a review!

Back in October we had the chance to visit Joy Natapa Sriyuksiri days after the reopening of Dusit Thani Bangkok. The new hotel is a refined exercise of integration: tradition, history, modernity and vision come together in an infinite number of layers. We speak also about how was collaborating with André Fu Studio during the pandemic, the plans of Dusit Hotels and Resorts for the future and the relevance of Bangkok for the region. 🎥 Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gqxeem_i 🎧 Listen (or watch) the full episode on Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gTTRPNDf Fernando Mendez

When we started this podcast we had the ambition to speak with the biggest personalities in the design industry. Little could we imagine that the second episode of the second season would feature Moira Moser, FAIA, FHKIA, FCTBUH, NCARB, founder and Chairwoman of MMoser Associates. Moira was an inspiration throughout the whole interview, in which she shared the secrets to her practice and her view of the future. https://lnkd.in/gWSXgVww

Back in September we started the recordings of the second season of the podcast. It happened after a summer of redesigning the strategy, finding a branding that could take us into the future and enlarging a team with special talents. For the first conversation we met with Carla Martinesi (she/her), founder and CEO of CHOMP. Her company aims to tackle the problem of food waste in Asia by being useful to both businesses and clients. I invite you to check out our conversation.

A few weeks ago we had Francesco Vitali in our studio to talk about, among other things, the success story of the Sampdoria Club Hong Kong TT. Its quick rise to the top of the rankings through three consecutive championships is as remarkable as its importance as an Italian cultural icon in the city. https://lnkd.in/gAzCcg4A
