Mike is in conversation with Luke Pearson RDI, one-half of the thriving industrial design consultancy Pearson Lloyd, which he formed with fellow RDI Tom Lloyd in 1997. Luke looks back to his Hampshire childhood, his struggle to find a creative path until late on, his period working with Ross Lovegrove RDI, the big jump to starting Pearson Lloyd, his philosophy on the ever-changing world of product design and the special collaborative relationship with the architects in the making of the Pearson Lloyd Yorkton workshop HQ in Hackney.
