    Arnold Schwartzman

    Mike recently caught up with Arnold Schwartzman, RDI, for a brief follow-up to the original RDInsight recording from 2006. Arnold’s career began in the 1960s and spans television and editorial work, photography, branding, book design, and filmmaking, during which he won an Oscar for his documentary Genocide. And in later years, he became something of a favourite on the cruise circuit, giving talks on all manner of creative subjects. Now at 90, Arnold is still working away on new projects.

    Ivan Chermayeff

    Mike Dempsey is in conversation with the legendary graphic designer  Ivan Chermayeff, Honorary RDI (1932 - 2017). Born in Britain, the son of the notable Russian architect Serge Chermayeff, Ivan made his career in the United States, creating many iconic logos, visual identities and design projects around the world. His legacy lies not just in the well-known logos and visual identities we see every day, but in the idea of design as “clear thinking made visible”, elegant, functional, and enriched with intelligence and joy. I was very fortunate to have had this conversation with him. I hope you enjoy it. Archive recording date: 21 Aug 2007. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Teucer Wilson

    Mike Dempsey RDI is joined by Teucer Wilson, one of the UK’s leading stone carvers and letter cutters.  After studying stonemasonry and carving at Weymouth College, Teucer completed a five-year apprenticeship with the distinguished stone cutter Richard Kindersley, cutting tens of thousands of letters and immersing himself in a tradition tracing back through David Kindersley.  Since establishing his Norfolk workshop in 2000, he has created memorials, public artworks, sculptures, and commissions for hospitals, gardens, and civic spaces.  His work combines the rigour of craft with a deep sensitivity to form, texture, and material, always mindful of how stone holds memory and meaning.

    Sebastian Cox

    Mike Dempsey RDI is in conversation with furniture designer, maker and environmentalist, Sebastian Cox. He is renowned for his nature-first approach to making, his championing of British woodlands, and his ability to weave centuries-old traditions into contemporary design. His studio in Margate, Kent, is not just a workshop, but a statement: of zero-waste, carbon-awareness, and regeneration. We follow Sebastian’s path from growing up in the Kent countryside to shaping a design philosophy that looks to nature as the ultimate collaborator. Hosted on Acast.
