The Render podcast launched in 2020 as a brand marketing effort for Modsy. The brainchild of Alessandra, this podcast further elevated Modsy’s public perception as an expert in the design world while offering critical and engaging conversations on design history and theory to a public audience. The Render was named one of the “Best design podcasts” by Apartment Therapy, hit #6 on Apple Podcasts’ Arts & Design Chart, and is ranked within the top 5% of most popular podcasts globally.
Alessandra particularly loved this project because it proved that critical conversations on design history and theory can be a useful tool in the modern business world; and it enabled that world to host conversations in public history expanding access to those conversations to a more general public audience.
In the third episode, Maddy and Alessandra are joined by special guest and Mid-Century Modern expert, Lark Morgenstern, as they unpack why the world is so obsessed with Mid-Century Modern design. The trio talks all about the style’s rise to popularity, its resurgence in the 90s, some designers to know (beyond the Eames), where the trend is heading in the future, and we even get into the surprising connection between the Playboy mansion and mid-century modern design.
