In his thought-provoking piece, Lee Birchall, Managing Director of DV8 Designs, challenges the design industry to look past reclaimed wood aesthetics and “green” hashtags to address the realities of waste, longevity, and impact in interior design.

From fit-outs that end up in landfill within a decade to the pressures of trends and budget mindsets, Lee calls on designers, clients, and suppliers to ask the tough questions: Are we creating spaces that will last? Are we truly designing for the future, or just styling it to look that way?

“If we’re going to talk about sustainability, we must act on it.”

Materiality: A tactile language we found throughout WOW!house …

WOW!house reminded us that materials tell stories and shape emotion.

We saw bold, joyful choices everywhere: Peter Mikic’s dining room for Benjamin Moore, with its semi-precious bejewelled table; Pirajean Lees’ textile-wrapped library for Dedar, creating a soft acoustic cocoon; and Tomef Design’s primary bedroom with Fortuny, Bonacina & Barovier & Toso, where rattan, golden velvet, and glass jewels formed a crown-worthy bed.

Commercial spaces should enrich our lives and spark joy!

In the latest instalment of Joyful Spaces, Rina Keane, Design Director at Lumsden, shares her personal connection to The Ark, Dublin, a space that first opened her eyes to design as storytelling and continues to shape her creative philosophy today.

Founded to give children of all backgrounds the opportunity to discover and create art, The Ark blends contemporary design with its heritage architecture, reminding us how thoughtful, inclusive design can leave a lasting imprint.

“It was the moment I first became aware of the power of narrative and space – opening my eyes to how architecture itself can tell a story.” Rina Keane, Lumsden
