Knit happens: the stitching comeback

The podcast episode "Round Table" explores how systems are adapting to better fit people's lives, moving away from rigid structures towards more flexible and human-centered designs. The discussion connects three seemingly unrelated stories: the privacy concerns surrounding digital wedding invitations, the rise of micro-shifting in the workplace, and the transformation of subway stations into lifestyle spaces. The core idea is that society is gradually adjusting its tools, spaces, and rules to match the realities of modern life, where people juggle multiple roles and needs simultaneously. Examples include subway stations incorporating badminton courts and the increasing popularity of knitting as a way to slow down and create affordable fashion. This shift acknowledges the layered realities of individuals, creating more room to breathe and progress through small kindnesses in design.
