Tea for Two with Justin Van Breda

Justin talks to the wonderful Joe Lucas, the man behind Harbinger and Lucas Studios, where East Coast traditional style meets West Coast cool.The Tea for Two series was created over the Coronavirus Lockdowns of 2020 and 2021; a moment when we desperately wanted to have someone round for a cup of tea and a slice of cake and were missing those previously taken for granted moments of human connection. A moment too where we wanted to be inspired and to learn and to do something that wasn't work, or just existing. Used to so much exposure to the brilliant minds of the interior design world, I felt stagnant and yes, like all of us did, a little lonely. So I decided to reach out to my network and invite them to join me for a virtual Tea for To where we discussed all things design, and life (in lockdown and outside of it). Over the series I talk to a broad range of brilliant and bold designers, artists and makers from across the globe and who impart a little of their expert knowledge and invariable humour. The series was originally formatted as instagram lives but we have taken those videos and turned them into an audio series, if you would like to watch the series they can be found on our Instagram or YouTube pages.
