Ben Rousseau is the owner and founder of Ben Rousseau Studio, an award-winning British design house based in Brighton, UK. He works across the interior sectors with a particular focus on lighting with projects combining art, technology, and functionality, that reflect his passion for design, light, and time. I interviewed Ben just before Christmas in December 2024. In this episode we discover how a side line in DJing at dingy nightclubs prompted experimentation with lights and light effects. Ben’s journey from creating illuminated furniture to developing unique timepieces that redefine how we perceive time. The art of mixing natural light and incorporating layers of illumination and the importance of experimentation and trial and error in the design process And why, when it comes to Christmas decoration lights, it’s best to keep it simple.
