We talked with Ben about his creative inspirations and practices, focussing on what makes him see objects as classic in design – a theme that echoes across his own work, which deeply cnsiders everyday objects and elevates them through material execution and visual story.
To culminate our project with Ben, we hlepd him put on an object design exhibition in Chicago in early February, where he reimagined his iconic white marble hanger in a number of new materials, from clear acryllic, to carbon fiber and foamed aluminum, alongside the adidas AR Trainer.
