Design Insider Talks 2022

Design Insider Talks instigates sector leading, focused and detailed conversations which tackle urgent and gritty questions within Commercial Interiors. Commercial interior designers joined us in Table Place Chairs’ Clerkenwell showroom to engage in discussion and leave with actionable knowledge to apply and share within their team.

Design Insider Editor, Alys Bryan, welcomed an impressive panel of leading speakers to discuss a variety of issues facing the industry, met with a fascinated and thought-provoked audience.

Opening the series, we explored how to successfully balance hybrid working with business needs to maintain a positive culture.

Following from this we spoke about the interior designers role in delivering non-toxic working environments, and delved deeper into the specification of furniture and building materials and how to create a healthier space.

Closing the series, our speakers explored what measures are being taken by the hospitality sector to reach carbon zero, concluding that there is much more than needs to be done.

We are looking forward to announcing our second series of Design Insider Talks for 2023, keep an eye out for more information to follow.
