This month's Nicer Tuesdays explores failure!

—
Date
6 August 2015

Blunders, oversights, fuck-ups; we’ve all had them, which is why this month’s Nicer Tuesdays is celebrating all things failure-related! We’re bringing together four speakers who each have a story to tell.

Joining us is Matt Wade, co-founder and director of Kin, a research and design studio built around a passion for how people interact with objects and others, as well as James Greenfield, designer, creative director and founder of Studio Koto, as well as being responsible for the hugely publicised Airbnb rebrand.

Also joining us is Matteo Fogale, a industrial product designer who’s previously worked on the London 2012 Olympic Games torch for BarberOsgerby, as well as Designs of The Year nominated Azusa Murakami and Alex Groves of experimental design duo, Studio Swine.

Beers will be on us, as always!
