"Benjamin Hubert doesn't shy away from the topic of influence in design, instead advocating for a transparent, respectful approach to borrowing ideas. He says, "In design, everything is essentially a remix. The important thing is to understand the origin of the ideas you're working with and to build upon them in a way that's authentic and respectful." For Hubert, the difference between imitation and innovation is intent and the ability to push ideas beyond their reference points."
Benjamin Hubert advocates transparent, respectful borrowing in design, framing creative work as a remix that acknowledges idea origins and builds authentically on them. He distinguishes imitation from innovation through intent and the capacity to push concepts beyond their references. Hubert emphasizes that constraints frequently catalyze breakthroughs and that cultivating a unique studio culture supports sustained creativity. His holistic practice spans product, furniture, and experience design and involves collaborations with global brands. Successful design requires skillful synthesis of diverse influences, strategic borrowing, and organizational practices that encourage experimentation and the translation of remixed ideas into meaningful, original outcomes.
