Stephen Briars on The Conran Shop and good design

Our guest today is Stephen Briars - the creative director at The Conran Shop. With the high street and physical retail undergoing tremendous change, we dive into what The Conran Shop is now, discuss its 50 years of 'baggage', and look into the future. Stephen also shares his thoughts on the importance of both digital and physical retail experiences, finding young new talent and how the furniture industry could learn from fashion.    Mentioned in the episode: The Conran Shop website: https://www.conranshop.co.uk To get new weekly On Design podcast episodes directly in your inbox, sign up to our newsletter at https://ondesignpodcast.com/newsletter.
