Screens dominate contemporary technology and the home, but we are regularly encouraged to see them as non-objects: glass voids that present a surface and nothing more. But what happens when we start to think of screens as objects in themselves, and how might we encourage more meaningful, intuitive interactions with technology by doing so? In this episode of Where Next? Conversations with Map Project Office , host Oli Stratford is joined by Jake Weir, Fredrik Hellberg, Lara Lesmes, Rowan Williams and Rhiarna Dhaliwal to discuss the role of screens in design.

Sound design is well established across music, film and media, although the field’s importance to product design and architecture has historically been overlooked. Yet given the central role that electrical devices play in our lives, how can the sounds they emit be tailored to make our everyday experiences more intuitive, friendly and integrated in our environment? In this episode of Where Next?

How can design connect to nature? At January's 2024 edition of Maison&Objet, Disegno created a pair of podcasts, recorded live from the heart of the fair, to interrogate this question. The first episode sees the journal's editor-in-chief, Oli Stratford, speak with Mathieu Lehanneur about Outonomy , an installation Lehanneur created as the fair's Designer of the Year. Lehanneur reflects on how his vivid yellow pavilion brings into question the binary ways we approach technology and nature, and instead encourages us to blur the lines between these two spheres.

While many examples of ambient technology are austere and built around black screens, the introduction of more playful physical forms, figurative details, and emotional software suggests routes that might help establish these devices in our everyday lives. Can making friends with tech products give them more longevity, and what are the ethical complexities around privacy and trust that designers of less obtrusive tech might have to consider?

While our heavy reliance on plastic, especially single-use plastic, is an undeniable problem for the planet, is the material currently being dismissed too quickly in critical discourse? For a material that has been variously vaunted and vilified, is it time we began building a healthier, more honest relationship with the plastic resources surrounding us?

Electric vehicles hold huge potential as society aims to cut its reliance on fossil fuels, but this is not the only issue facing mobility.
