Studio Snack

In our September episode, we ask a four-legged studio mate how dogs choose snacks, we find dog treat history in our creative neighbourhood and we consider who packaging is actually for.

This month, we bring you fast facts about a slowly-made snack and compare the knotty processes of pretzel-making and design. Grab a pretzel and take a fresh look at its well-known shape with the latest episode of Studio Snack.

Our June episode is Grow your own snack, via historical trends in allotmenteering, forage, what growing things teaches us about design process and the most impractical piece of packaging Lydia has ever mocked up. Harvest a snack, pour a cold drink and listen to this month’s five minute food podcast about design.

May is here, bringing the beauty of spring and the perfect picnic weather. Join us as we explore the history of the sandwich and how picnics evolved from indoor events. Lydia and Narcis recorded the latest podcast episode on location. Grab a blanket, a scotch egg, and tune in to our Picnic episode.

April has been Easter month and that means chocolate. In this episode of Studio Snack we have history and branding nerdery, we try our hand at chocolate sculpture and we chat about what this all means for our design practice. Grab a hot chocolate or your favourite chocolate snack and have a listen to our latest five-minute podcast.

In our seasonal  Studio Snack  podcast, through traditional biscuit selection boxes, we chat about the Victorians, snack behaviour and what leftover biscuits tell us about the best bits of design.

In this episode, we explore snacks for getting the flavour of a place, as a taste of home, and we discuss what ingredients tell us about design.

In this episode we explore the crafts, and what is it being a designer today versus back in the day. Experimenting with a biscuit that once was used as a postcard. Listen to this episode to know more.

April's episode comes noisy. We explore design with sound, and of course, we attempt to find out what is the noisiest snack.

In this episode we talk about growth, what it means to us as creative businesses – and we explore exponential growth by way of doughnuts.
