I love that I saw this post and the post immediately below it was an ad to apply for a credit card 😂
Very sad indeed to hear of the death of Sir Kenneth Grange. My absolute hero. Giving thanks for his redesign of the Kenwood Chef food mixer which forms a crucial strand of my PhD. His approach to design has been a huge inspiration.

Proud to celebrate Earth Day with a podcast I made for @BBCRadio3 looking at new ways of thinking about fashion and sustainability. @XineYaoPhD speaks to Lucy Orta @StudioOrta & Monica Buchan-Ng @LCFLondon about circular fashion & cloth as a refuge

In loving memory of artist Phyllida Barlow (1944
– 2023)
A remarkably original, powerful and generous artist, Barlow singularly redefined a language of sculpture and consistently shattered conventions, challenging old notions of monumentality and of beauty

Shame to hear Camisa is closing. Soho investors and Westminster is very happy to use these businesses when it suits them - to add ‘vibe’ to premium development brochures - but does nothing to sustain them. I call for zero rates for all 25+yr independents. Least they could do.
It’s showtime! Rehearsals have begun for our @BeingHumanFest event @the_spring with @UniPortCCI students.
Excited to be on @BBCFreeThinking tonight talking about ‘Putting on a show with the Kenwood Chef’ at @the_spring as part of @BeingHumanFest with @UniPortCCI drama students using archive material from @sciencemuseum. Thanks to @SoDesignHistory for their support.
Tonight at 10pm on @BBCFreeThinking, I talk to @kerblooee, @DesignMaid, Chris Donaldson @LancasterUni and Ayshah Johnston @bcaheritage about their projects for the @BeingHumanFest bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001dpj…

BBC Radio 3 - Words and Music, Swimming. I made a Words and Music for @BBCRadio3 about my favourite past-time, swimming. We’ve got a bit of Byron, some Stevie Smith and Richter and REM too. Dive in at 5.30pm on Sunday. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0016zb…
Delighted to be contributing my perspective on the food blender for The Futures Archive with @moreaulee + @SloanLeo1 and sharing a space with @danformsa Ruth Schwartz Cowan & @michellelokot. Do you have one on your kitchen counter? Maybe it's a Kenwood... 😉
