Design Beyond Lockdown
Part of the Connect Series
Respond, recover, reimagine. Gazing into a crystal ball is much about seeing the future of design as it is about knowing how to prepare for it. To that end, our panel of design experts will discuss how they think this pandemic will impact key aspects of interior design, from lighting and technology to colour trends and furniture design. In this brave new world, will there be a lot of innovation in our industry as a result?
It'll be an ‘all out-at-sea together’ vibe; a 40 minute discussion between an array of panellists, each imparting their wisdom, followed by questions from the community: you. Debate is encouraged.
