Al & Imo Roberts • Ethically Sourced Materials in Design
Episode 29 | 24 June 2024


"I've got goosebumps thinking about us making the rocking chair and the cot when I was pregnant. My memories are all based around us building things for ourselves. We constantly just make things that we need for ourselves, and then we're starting to offer more of those products to our customers as well. Good design attracts good people. Good people attracts good design. And then you just end up surrounded by lovely things and lovely people."
