Quick questions to design Professor Michael Erlhoff


Eftersom jag reser så mycket och träffar intressanta yrkesverksamma inom design, kommer jag från och med nu att göra små snabba miniintervjuer med spännande människor som jag möter. Började idag i Hamburg. Först ut Designhistorikern och teoretikern Michael Erlhoff, som var en av de inbjudna talarna i designseminariet Design S-tag, samt hans partner, Uta Brandes, tillika professor och designforskare.
As I am traveling around, and meet a lot of interesting people, I will make some quick mini interviews with the same questions to all. Today was my debut in Hamburg.
