The ‘design, Design, DESIGN, design!’ podcast is where we – designers Jesper Bylund and Jaan Orvet – poke, prod, analyse and share our opinions on design. The everyday, the mundane as well as the exceptional. We also explore how people affect, and are affected by, design. If you like our podcast, consider supporting it. It's like buying us a coffee.
