How should design respond to landscapes of this scale and significance?⁠
⁠
At The Gígur Visitor Centre in Iceland, Nissen Richards Studio, working with SP(R)INT STUDIO, has created a permanent exhibition that sits in constant dialogue with its surroundings.⁠
⁠
Set within the extraordinary landscape of Lake Mývatn, the project moves beyond traditional visitor centre design. Instead of competing with panoramic views, the interior works with them, extending the experience of the natural environment.⁠
⁠
What’s particularly compelling is the balance: scientific insight is made accessible, play sits alongside education and the design remains deliberately restrained, allowing the landscape to lead.⁠
⁠
The result is a visitor centre that feels less like a contained exhibition and more like part of the terrain itself, a place where architecture, storytelling and environment are intrinsically connected.⁠

This conversation with Colin Bone gives you a clear sense of what it takes to grow a design practice with real international ambition, without losing the values that define it.⁠
⁠
How do you scale globally while staying collaborative, research-led, and rooted in place?⁠
⁠
In this interview, Colin reflects on his own journey into architecture and design, the founding vision behind Kettle Collective, and the thinking that continues to shape the studio’s work. You’ll take away insight into how collaboration across architecture, interiors, and masterplanning leads to stronger design outcomes, and why rigorous research is central to creating work that responds to context rather than chasing trends.⁠
⁠
You’ll also gain a better understanding of how Kettle Collective is expanding its global presence, strengthening its multidisciplinary offer, and approaching sustainability through a lens of local identity, climate response, and long-term value. It is an honest and thoughtful perspective on leadership, growth, and building a design studio with both purpose and ambition.⁠
⁠
"As we expand and bring new talent into the business, it’s essential that every individual aligns with our culture and our commitment to quality."⁠

There’s been a long-standing tension in design between heritage and innovation, as if the two sit on opposite ends of the spectrum.⁠
⁠
But across the projects and products we’ve been covering, I`ve noticed it`s starting to change... ⁠
⁠
Some of the most compelling work right now isn’t choosing between craft or technology, it’s combining them. Traditional manufacturing knowledge is being reworked through digital tools. ⁠
⁠
Natural materials are being engineered for modern performance. ⁠
⁠
And sustainability is no longer an add-on, but built into how products are made from the very beginning.⁠
⁠
It feels less like a shift in style, and more like a shift in mindset.⁠
⁠
Where do you see craft heading next? ⁠
