In this episode of the Justyna Green podcast, I speak to Ben Rigby, co-founder of Haberdashery. I've been following their work for a long time now, and am a huge fan. In our conversation, we chat about the language of light, the ways in which it affects us and evokes emotions. We also dive into the human circadian rhythms and the negative effects of blue light. Finally, we explore Haberdashery's lighting installations and sculptures which bring together art and design.
