POD sessions is an interview series where creators and thinkers share their thoughts on how their work influences our workspace environment and its culture. this project is an initiative of de vorm, the dutch furniture brand that creates products by the standards of today. the sessions are recorded in collaboration with what design can do, an annual design conference in amsterdam.

interview by De Vorm

in this edition, POD sessions presents a conversation with stefan sagmeister, one of the most inspiring graphic designers of his time. they discuss the influence of technology and the human-centric approach in his work. he comments: ‘I don’t know a single person who prefers the automated machine over the real person. so why do we so often pretend that what we make is made by a machine? it makes no sense.’ stefan reflects on his work, ‘also, as a young designer I wanted to do new things all the time but that proved impossible to do. now, the older I get, the less the new is important to me.’
