Moroccan designer Hicham Lahlou took part in the podcast on the last day of his visit to Australia after representing Morocco, the Arab and African design world as keynote speaker of Design & Build Week. Sitting in The Commons at Surry Hills, Lahlou delved into the idea of identity, drawing comparison between Australia and Morocco – each one as its own “mosaic of cultures.” Local richness, diversity and traditional handicrafts all remain integral to his work, even more so when developing global designs. During the podcast, he discusses the role of design and current designers in inspiring emerging designers, allowing diversity to develop richness both locally and globally.

“You should think without boundaries,” says Lahlou during the interview. “You can think local but you have to act global. We are a small village, we use the same practice but our difference is our richness… Design is a catalyst of innovation; we are interesting people – sensitive, human-first. We can create iconic pieces. And I would love – why not! – one day to showcase designs from Morocco in some of your museums.”
