Live interview with Sebastian Cox | Virtual Design Festival | Dezeen

Designer Sebastian Cox spoke to Dezeen in a live Screentime conversation as part of Virtual Design Festival. The London-based furniture designer and craftsman discussed his work with Dezeen's founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs. Cox founded his studio and workshop in 2011 and has since specialised in creating sustainable and zero-waste furniture using natural materials.
