The studio in its larger form closed in 2009. We had the chance to meet Ian Anderson, who co-founded TDR with Nick Phillips back in the ‘80s.
Which were your main influences?
Because inom didn't study design, the things I like are quite eclectic. There certainly isn't a neatly wrapped answer I can give with a list of specific influences but if there was a list it would include Bladerunner, Pop Art, Japanese Pop Culture (because of its dislocation from a westerner's norm — 'same same but different'), Russian Constructivism, Concrete, Consumerism, Religion (belief systems), Glitching (technology with human inconsistency), the unintentional marks we leave behind (old grafitti / weathered billboards etc), forgotten ideas we find under the floorboards, contradictions but most of all people, and what people are about.
