People are actually mad cause this dude looks good and is confident about it 🤣

Haters gonna hate.

The interviewer has way too much screen time. I couldn't finish it because of him and his out-of-place arrogance and turtle-neck.

[@SyedShoaibMahmood]

LOOOOLLLL you the best.

[@leahpinault1617]

this was lovely, i dont agree with all the negative comments at all.

[@MrHugoYu]

can somebody please tell me, what brand trousers were the interviewer wearing.

[@neilfowler3284]

The interviewer’s questions are so inane. It feels like Tom Dixon is humouring him.

[@lamar3448]

I like the way Mr. Tom Dixon thinks, this simplicity, complex aura around... ✨

[@channingparker4898]

I love seeing what people were doing when they were younger. It soothes my soul in strange ways.

[@jeremytitus6575]

Really felt like minimalism isn't something that Tom aims for when he goes to designing something and he clearly emphasizes on the fact that minimalizing and simplifying things just makes it harder for his style of design. Idk why the interviewer would talk to him as though he wants him to admit that he is a minimalistic designer of sorts.

[@김지진-n9l7f]

Agreeeeeee!

[@Bradah26]

Minimal is a non-designer's buzz word that means nothing

[@lapijamebre]

too much emphasis on the mustache dude

[@liselimasausozulu1781]

The first 25 seconds is basically product placement for braun.

[@djremotion2]

I think I have the luxury of being unknown like he was and doing designs on my own time and to evolve. Super couraging to hear that he started the same. Just doing things.

[@martinsanders6124]

"I started welding live on stage" - this immediately made me regard him as awesome.

[@epsospremium6088]

*Design = Chairs :-)* Why is every designer trying to reinvent the chair ?

[@nathandomingos2199]

Its the hallmark of design - nothing is as simple and natural to create than a place to sit that is better than the last that was invented

[@bluewaterpines8323]

@@nathandomingos2199 thank you Nathan.🍂

[@cmilliken64]

This is a classic design and philosophy question, what is a chair? Most students of design are given this challenge. Socrates poses the question of what is a chair? And compares the object with the idea or thought of a chair.

[@erikpeterson4873]

We spend 80% of the day sitting down

[@artdoneus]

@@nathandomingos2199 that was very deep.

[@shermanwaren159]

Great exchange!

Where is the playlist that contains these videos, or the Braun playlist I think it's called? I looked on the playlist section of the videos and cannot find it.

The interviewer, my goodness, he’s very handsome! He looks so refined and collected. #smoothoperator

[@ozu7628]

Chill it’s advertising. Somebody has to pay the bills 💸

[@orangeorchid9067]

So many familiar designs. So nice to see the man who designed them

[@ClownSpass]

Not this interviewer and Braun again...

[@08torero]

Marc Lamparter he is not an interviewer at least not a professional one !!!

[@gwin8463]

Omg, are his interviews always like this??? The opening of this video was totally irrelevant

[@es5746]

It was an ad, it had to be included somewhere...

[@08torero]

The interviewer is so bad !!!! He looks so superfluous behind those design and art leading people as Dixon

[@brucelee2550]

what hair product does this guy use?

[@aadhyachintala8532]

Braun was good until this interviewer started focusing on himself

[@design-stories]

congratulations, very interesting interview. I will bring similar content to my channel

[@JG-sc8sf]

who is the other guy?

[@harddecoder5860]

That moment when the anchor talks like he is better that the designer itself😝

[@Redstoneghost133]

Only came across this recently. Aspiring PD and its great to hear from designers and hear their story and thought process
