Michael Young on Why Now Is a Good Time to Be in Design

With studios in Hong Kong and Brussels, British-born designer Michael Young uses the latest technological tools to push furniture forward.

Here, he shares his take on material matters and reveals what he finds so exciting about the business of design today.
