10 for 10 on IG Live Kicks off with Ceri Lovett, Boss Design
On Sept. 23 at 9 a.m. EST, Delve Magazine Editor AnnMarie Martin will kick off a series of extended interviews with our Top 10 Design Visionaries, all originally featured in the August issue.
Delve’s 10 for 10 will be conducted via intimate Instagram Live chats, which will give all of us the chance to get to know each of them a little bit better, and even throw out some questions. But we’re doing it in just 10 minutes, so set your alarms and make sure you join us in time!
Our first subject will be Ceri Lovett, creative director of Boss Design. Make sure you are following @delvemag and @wearebossdesign to not miss any updates, and get your questions ready for him!
We’ll see you in the chat, but in the meantime, read Lovett’s spotlight:
Ceri Lovett - Creative Director, Boss Design
Visionary status unlocked: Pioneered the use of Bio-Pur® with the Remi chair. This bio foam is made using renewable raw materials instead of fossil fuels and has a carbon footprint 75% lower than conventional PU foam (data being verified through an accredited LCA and EPD assessor.) This is a game-changer in our industry.
It means that furniture designers will be able to create products that benefit from the workability and durability of PU foam while drastically reducing the impact these products have on the environment.
How do you stay ahead of the industry? I like to cast a wide net to scan the horizon for emerging global trends, with a focus on design integrity, responsible materiality, and societal wellbeing. This involves tracking social media, connecting with colleagues, attending seminars, reading reports and monitoring legislation, health and well-being developments, blending these insights with trends from designers and architects from different sectors.
Go to outfit? Black jeans and t-shirt, jacket and boots. Such a cliché…
Something most people don’t know about you: I have five children and my wife is a revolutionary in the sustainability world.
What makes you good at your job? No fear of failure and hard work to deliver an idea. And the passion to make it better.
You’re working toward: Embedding a deep-rooted sustainability culture in every aspect of Boss Design, focusing on people, design, and craft. Over the next five years, my goal is to help the team develop a portfolio of products with a strong, responsible, and conceptual provenance.
