The Design of Business | The Business of Design is taking a mid season hiatus, but new episodes will be dropping in September. In the meantime, we wanted to share a different show from Design Observer, The Futures Archive. The season finale of its second season will drop this coming Thursday, August 18th. The Futures Archive is a podcast that looks at the history of human-centered design with a critical eye to its future. In each episode, we begin with an object, interrogating the motives and methods that put people—and their complex needs and desires—at the center of the design process. On this episode — What are the relationships between design and pleasure? And how can we design the most pleasurable experiences? Lee Moreau and Rachel Lehrer discuss the disco ball and the importance of embodied design.
