The Design Files Talks: Interior Designer, David Flack

Author: The Design Files April 16, 2018 Duration: 30:00

Hello and WELCOME to The Design Files podcast!

TDF Talks is a fortnightly podcast from Australia’s most popular design blog, hosted by our founder/editor Lucy Feagins, in conversation with trailblazing Australian creatives from the worlds of design, art, craft, architecture, styling, image-making, and more.

For our fourth episode, we share our chat legendary interior designer David Flack. He's filming with us in Milan at the Milan Furniture Fair this week (!!), and so we thought it was the perfect time to share his uber inspiring TDF Talk, recorded live at The Design Files Open House 2017.

We are an ENHANCED podcast. So if you listen to TDF TALKS using the Overcast or Pocket Casts apps, you will see images and links in your player while you listen! Alternatively, all the links mentioned can be found at http://thedesignfiles.net/podcast

Thanks so much for joining us!


Every other week, The Design Files Talks opens up a conversation that feels like pulling up a chair in a creative studio. Lucy Feagins, founder of Australia's long-running design platform, sits down with the country's most thoughtful makers, designers, and artists. These aren't just surface-level chats; they delve into the real, often messy, process behind creating a beautiful and considered life. You'll hear architects explain the emotional weight of a renovation, gardeners discuss the philosophy behind their plots, and furniture makers unpack the journey toward sustainable practice. It’s a podcast that connects the dots between aesthetics and everyday living, exploring how intention shapes our homes, our leisure, and our environment. The discussions are grounded, practical, and rich with the kind of insights that come from over a decade of deep engagement with the design community. For anyone curious about the stories behind the spaces we inhabit and the objects we live with, this series offers a genuine and inspiring listen.
