tl.mag interviewed Philips‘ Chief Design Officer Stefano Marzano for issue 11. In 2009, Marzano’s team received an iNdex:Award from the danish government for the creation of Chula, a very simple oven that allows you to evacuate burning wood smoke outside the home and thus contributing to reducing the number of cases of respiratory diseases in Third World countries.
