Where Wellness Meets Design
Marcus Reid and Ana Lindqvist on objects that make you slow down.
August 6, 2026 · Design · With Ana Lindqvist
How did you two end up in the same conversation?
MARCUS: Because we are both arguing against urgency, just with different tools. Ana does it with weight. A heavy cup makes you put it down properly.
ANA: And Marcus does it with breath, which is free and therefore harder to sell.
What is the shared rule?
ANA: Nothing should look best on the first day.
MARCUS: Same. If the practice peaks in week one, I designed it wrong.
