"We need to talk. We need to share information and learnings. Whilst the industry will remain competitive we will need to put some of the fears associated with competition aside to share best practice, build new structures, and define new networks to reclaim and reuse rather than simply produce and sell" - Luke Pearson, Co-Founder & Director, Pearson Lloyd 🎙️ Sustainable design and responsible sourcing are at the forefront of conversations in cruise, hotel, and aircraft interiors. What is often overlooked is the importance of collaborating across sectors and how exchanging ideas with other brands can impact our overall goal – a more sustainable future 🌍 Sustainable Design Summit recognises that despite the uniqueness that each sector brings, there are similarities that allow for ideas to be exchanged, improved, and actioned 🫱🏼🫲🏽 Want to be part of this year’s conversation?

Design isn't just about aesthetics; it's a catalyst for belonging, justice, equity and inclusion. At the #WELLConference the Design and the Future of the Human Experience panel shared profound insights into creating spaces that promote human health and inclusivity, emphasizing the paramount importance of psychological safety and belonging. Every space should nurture the ability to thrive for all individuals. As Cheryl Durst, Hon. FIIDA, Executive Vice President and CEO, International Interior Design Association shared on the MainStage, “Design is about what is on the receiving end. At the receiving end of design is human beings."

Want to be a better designer? Travel. I recently returned from a trip to Prague, and it’s safe to say my design process has changed forever. Prague is a city where history and modernity collide. From Gothic cathedrals to sleek contemporary buildings, every corner has a story to tell. I took an architectural tour that allowed me to see how design adapts over centuries, blending old-world charm with innovative solutions for modern needs. One thing that stood out during this trip was how travel broadens your perspective as a designer. When immersed in a new environment, your approach to problem-solving shifts. You start thinking beyond your usual methods and begin to explore ideas influenced by cultural, historical, and aesthetic diversity. While I missed out on Czech Design Week, I did witness the behind-the-scenes preparations. Just observing the creative energy in the city, from installations to artwork, was incredibly inspiring. It reminded me that great design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about responding to the world around us and finding creative solutions to everyday challenges. If you’re a designer, I can’t stress enough the importance of travel. It’s not just about exploring new places—it’s about feeding your creativity, challenging your thinking, and finding new ways to solve problems.

Effective space design is critical to developing an powerful #hospitality concept. 3 tips to ace your space design: 1️⃣ Consider cultural and social norms when designing a space. Narrow corridors and dim lighting encourage your guests to be quiet, while a bar area with high stools and loud music signals social interaction. 2️⃣ The media will look for a picture that tells the story of your concept. For Dadou, a Parisian hotel with a twist, we conceptualised a cinema-pool called La Nouvelle Vague that successfully got the attention of the media. 3️⃣ Elevators, staircases or corridors are typically forgotten in the creative process. Giving special attention to forgotten spaces will surprise your guests. French Theory, a Parisian lifestyle concept, transformed its staircase into an art gallery called La Galerie qui Monte (the gallery that climbs upward). REMEMBER ☝ The key is to begin designing your space only when your story and offering are clear. This way, they’ll inform and guide the space design.

We are thrilled to announce that next year’s venue for the World Design Congress will be… 🥁 🥁 🥁…at the landmark Barbican Centre ✨ 🏛️ --- Recognised worldwide for its iconic brutalist architecture, the Barbican was chosen by the Design Council as the London venue due to its renowned design status and current focus on improving sustainability. --- As our CEO, Minnie Moll puts it, "Both London and the Barbican represent the height of creativity, inspiration and design, which is why they are the perfect choice for the 2025 Congress.” --- Our theme for next year is #DesignForPlanet 🌿, which aims to spur the 1.97 million people working in the UK to design their way to net zero. As outlined in our latest report, over 71% of designers think that the demand for eco-design will grow in the next three years, but only 43% feel adequately equipped to meet this demand. Organised by World Design Organization the two-day event will bring together the global design community alongside business leaders, researchers, and educators to tackle this critical design issue alongside other pressing concerns. --- In preparation for the Congress, we will be working with the Centre on the Barbican Renewal. This sustainable two-year project will radically revitalise the arts centre’s existing underused spaces for new and improved creative use. --- Stay tuned for updates and ticket information.

EVENT - 16 MAY  06:30 PM - 08:30 PM ROCA LONDON GALLERY Exhibition Event | Biophilic Design vs Climate Change Hosted by Oliver Heath with guest panellists Paul de Zwart (Another Country), Vanessa Champion PhD (Journal of Biophilic Design) and 🌿Adrian Byne Byne (Benholm) What is Biophilic Design and how can this nature-based design approach be applied to help mitigate the effects of climate change? Whilst Biophilia is generally considered to be human centred and most frequently used to enhance interior spaces, how can the benefits be spread across the built environment- to create mutualistic benefits for all life? This talk will draw on some of the leading authorities on biophilic design and explore why nature should be at the heart of every design process, whatever the scale. To conclude the discussion a Q&A will provide the audience to engage with our expert panel. https://lnkd.in/eUCtPdCN
