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.

With the aim to exhibit at Stockholm Furniture Fair 2010, they were supposed to design furniture for a 48sqm apartment and question and twist preconceptions of home styling.

Interpreting their collections and temperaments, we have created the concept “48m² / Same but Different”.

The showcase will be a 48m² apartement, cut up and reorganized in a different way. The exhibition catalogue is almost two meters long, showing all furniture in one long photo.

We’ve also made films and online communication.
