“The Couch, Conversations on Design” is a brand new podcast brought to you by B&B Italia. Over the course our first 7 episodes we’ll be sitting down, sitting back and listening in on designers, writers, collectors and curators to discuss the importance of the home and all the things we decide to put in it.
As many of us are using the spaces we call home in a way like never before, we ponder on the past, present and future of domestic environments. The Couch, conversations on design is presented by me David Plaisant for B&B Italia, and is available online from May 2020.

Rosa Park, Editor of Cereal Magazine
As the editor and co-founder of Cereal—an independent biannual magazine celebrated for its distinct take on travel and style—Rosa Park has an eye for good design and quality craftsmanship, a well-tuned ear for strong cultural narratives.
Park has lived a peripatetic existence, zigzagging her way across the globe from Seoul to Vancouver to Boston followed by a stint in New York where she cut her teeth working in fashion and beauty marketing for five years, before moving to Bristol to start fresh on a new career path that eventually led her to Bath where she launched Cereal alongside partner Rich Stapleton. When work brings her to New York, Park bases herself downtown.
