It’s a very special year for David Hicks: the interior designer is celebrating 25 years of his own practice. We might also add that he joined us for a panel event in Milan earlier in the year, and will be coming along for more at Saturday Indesign in Melbourne during September!

In this in-person interview at The Commons in Surry Hills, Sydney, David discusses his childhood in Malaysia, finding inspiration in French design and of course the quarter-century milestone.
