Whilst in Auckland I had the pleasure of catching up with New Zealand industrial designer and author Michael Smythe and his partner Helen Schamroth. It was a delight to discuss our shared interest in local design history and to gain some insight into the long and winding road to publication. Michael inscribed my copy of his new book with a challenge that is similar to the one he received during a lunch time meeting with Peter Haythornthwaite many years ago (see back story of Michael's book).
