Hasta La Ideas

Dezeen editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs speaks to Arihiro Miyake about how he realised his dream to become a designer in the first of a new series of talks with Dutch design brand Moooi. Watch the talk live here!

The livestream has now finished, but you can still watch the talk in full above or on Dezeen’s Facebook page.

Fairs and Miyake discuss how the Japanese designer made his name and the story behind his Coppélia light for Moooi in the talk, which is hosted at Moooi’s showroom and brand store in London.

The event is part of a new collaboration between Dezeen and Moooi called Design Dreams, which will explore how successful designers turned their dreams into reality through a series of talks and short films over the coming months.

The talk will take place amongst an installation of suspended Coppélia lights and Moooi’s new Jackson Chairs, arranged around a rug featuring a high-definition print of Moooi co-founder Marcel Wanders’ iris.

The installation will be open at Moooi’s showroom and brand store throughout London Design Festival, where visitors will also be able to capture a magnified image of their own iris.
