Show Notes

For the first episode of Curiosity That Matters, I travelled to Copenhagen, Denmark, to interview Christian Bason, CEO of the Danish Design Centre.


In this episode, we delve deep into one of his latest books: Expand. Stretching the future by design

We talk about:

  • The SIX expansions in the book, along with practical examples
  • Christian's influences and his career journey
  • What he's looking forward to, and what he thinks I should be curious about
