046 • BENJAMIN EDGAR

Our guest is Chicago-based designer and Object Company founder, Benjamin Edgar. In this episode, Benjamin speaks with host Christian Solorzano and co-host Carson Koppin about industrial design, his creative process, Jeff Koons, solving emotional problems, Powell Peralta's "The Ripper," and much more. Benjamin talks through the lifecycle of a product and how, through purposeful collaboration and particular attention to the mundane, he can take an idea from the notes app to a prototype in a matter of weeks. He shares valuable lessons on a meditative presence and explains why he uses Internet Blue, Helvetica Neue 57 condensed bold, and value as a method of communicating an idea.     Music by the band ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Eighties Slang⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
