In the inaugural episode of the DFGN podcast we sit down with Professor Kalevi Ekman, better known as Eetu, the founder and director of the Aalto Design Factory (ADF) and an inspiration to many around the world. We talk about how the ADF began, grew, and affected many students who participated in its programs as well as some of the crazier stories that you could only expect in a Design Factory. Come find out how an experimentation that started in one room in 2008 became a world wide movement! Host: Sushi Suzuki, KYOTO Design Lab Editor: Alec Meijerink, Frisian Design Factory
