The Hospitality Crossover: Designing Spaces That Work and Welcome
Location: Ege Carpets UK
RSVP - london.showroom@egecarpets.com
With hybrid expectations and fluid lifestyles pushing the boundaries between personal and professional, designers are being asked to create spaces that do it all: support focus, encourage connection, and feel intuitively human. But as design codes begin to blur, so do identities, functions, and goals.
What does it really mean to design spaces that both work and welcome? Can hospitality-style design deliver real ROI in commercial environments? And how do we preserve cultural nuance and purpose while chasing comfort and flexibility?
Speakers:
- Federico Toresi, Global Vice President Design, Accor
- Megan Dobstaff, Design Director, Gensler
- Simon Kincaid, Partner, Conran and Partners
- Erik Svensson, Senior Associate, Perkins&Will
- Giorgia Harrod, Senior Concept Design, Ege Carpets UK
