Welcome back to the Agati Video Podcast, a space where Joe Agati, COO & Director of Design here at Agati Furniture, hosts conversations with designers, architects, and difference-makers to bring inspiration and education to your work.
For today’s episode of the podcast, I have the opportunity to talk with the man himself: my dad, founder of Agati Furniture, Joe Agati Sr. I’ve had the opportunity to host many conversations here on the podcast, and I’m especially excited to share some behind-the-scenes and stories from his decades of experience here at Agati.
In our conversation, we explore how Joe moved from creating sculptures and fantasy furniture pieces to developing public space furniture, how human behavior influences furniture design, some interesting behind-the-scenes on the development of our Hampton and POD collections, and much more.
This was a fun episode. Check it out:
