Sustainability is at the heart of Humanscale’s mission, and our Refreshed Circularity Program is a testament to that commitment.

Really happy that the latest guest on the Material Matters podcast is the excellent Todd Bracher. Todd is a US-based product designer who has worked with brands such as Humanscale, 3M, Herman Miller, Georg Jensen and Issey Miyake through his eponymous studio, winning a slew of awards along the way. More recently, he created another company, Betterlab®, in which he collaborates with scientists and innovators to, in his words, ‘shape emerging research and foundational technologies into game-changing products’. The company has taken a particular interest in the potential of light, for medical and other, perhaps unexpected, uses. Todd’s latest project is a book. Design in Context, which is out now, illustrates how design – and design-led thinking – has the potential to change and shape every facet of business. In this episode we talk about: generating value for different clients; the importance of collaboration; why he launched Betterlab; how he’s using light to combat myopia; finding truth in design; how light becomes a material; working with UVC and creating extraordinary products; leaving the US to study in Copenhagen; working in Milan; learning the ‘business of design’ under Tom Dixon; and designing net positive furniture for Humanscale. Safe to report, we cover a lot of ground.

Road trip to Cologne for Orgatec, the giant office furniture fair! I just (well, last week) got back. Surprisingly, Humanscale was one of only two US manufacturers. Our space was packed the entire time as were the few companies committed to great design like Brunner GmbH, Muuto...It was a wonderful reminder that our obsession with great design and innovation really matters. The Cologne Dom, the third largest cathedral in the world, stands magnificently in the heart of the city, with its stunning architecture and rich history.
