Sheridan In Conversation

With Grant Gibson

In the latest episode of his podcast Material Matters, Grant Gibson chats to our founder Sheridan Coakley, 'one of the most influential figures in British design over the past 35 years.'

Hosted by writer and critic Grant Gibson, Material Matters features in-depth interviews with a variety of designers, makers and artists about their relationship with a particular material or technique. In the latest episode, Gibson catches up with Sheridan Coakley about the early days of SCP, swapping bubblegum cards with artist Eduardo Paolozzi; meeting Jasper Morrison or the first time (in quite surprising circumstances),  setting up a business in unfashionable east London, and the state of British design.
