Listen "Are Trends Sooo Over?"

Episode Synopsis

This week, Ben is joined by Dan Rubinstein, design journalist and host of the Grand Tourist podcast, to discuss TRENDS. But first of all . . . do they even exist anymore? Or are we living in a post-trend world ruled by the math of the algorithm and the magnetism of sui generis celebrities? Ben and Dan consider trends through historical and pop-cultural lenses, using a very curious object as the jumping-off point: a pewter brooch in the shape of a Norse shield designed by Jorgen Jensen, son of Scandinavia’s trendiest modern silver maker Georg Jensen.
