Welcome to the latest issue of Mix Interiors – highlighting diverse perspectives and new ways of approaching design. Inside #233 we sit down with Blacksheep Toni Black and Orms' John McRae to discuss career-defining projects and designing in an accelerated age, and explore the latest exciting case studies – from Pinterest’s showstopping Dublin HQ to a compelling blend of British and Asian design at Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group Mayfair. Elsewhere, we feature two Mix Roundtables: discussing colour as a designer’s most important tool with IMPACT ACOUSTIC®, and examining the power of honest conversations around sustainability with 2TEC2. Plus, Katie Treggiden unwraps the concept of ‘craftivism,’ PLP Architecture looks to the future of research-led workspaces and Dominic Lutyens explores whether women have been written out of design history — alongside more conversation-starting insight from our regular line up of expert contributors.
