It’s a year since Ian Anderson closed the doors at The Designers Republic in Sheffield after a highly successful 23 years in business, during which time Anderson and his team worked on design projects right across the globe.

The Drum‘s editor Richard Draycott recently caught up with Ian at his office in Sheffield city centre to get his thoughts on the closure of his design shop along with his reflections on what The Designers Republic achieved during its lifetime.

We also find out what design projects he has been working on during the last year and what his plans are for the year ahead.
