Explore every episode of the podcast Fritz Hansen: In Conversation

Sound and design are often discussed as separate worlds. This conversation suggests otherwise. In this episode, Ben Catford speaks with Copenhagen-based composer, DJ, and electronic music producer Mike Sheridan and Fritz Hansen's CEO Asia Dario Reicherl — a self-confessed sound obsessive — about craft, materiality, and the thinking that connects how things are made, whether in music or in design.

Some designs endure. Fewer still seem to grow more relevant with time. In this episode, Ben Catford speaks with Thomas Kjærholm — Poul's son, who grew up surrounded by his father's work in Villa Kjærholm — and Christian Andresen, Fritz Hansen's Director of Craft and Heritage, about what it means to live with, produce, and protect a mid-century design legacy that remains as vital as ever.

Together they shape a portrait of the man behind the work, the obsessive precision that made the pieces what they are, and why generations of people who were never there in the 1950s keep falling in love with them.

Natsai Audrey Chieza trained as an architect. But somewhere along the way, she realised that architecture was not the point — the material was.

Natsai is the founder and CEO of biodesign studio Faber Futures, co-founder of NPOL , a consumer biotech brand, and a leading voice at the intersection of biology, design, and industrial change.

In this episode, she talks about designing with living systems, why industry needs to stop waiting for bio-based materials and start shaping them, and what it might mean to ask not how we replace what we already make — but what a chair could be if it were grown.
