The Hospitality Crossover: Designing Spaces That Work and Welcome
As the lines between office and hotel environments continue to blur, interior designers are being asked to reimagine what it means to create a functional, flexible and human-centric space. Comfort, connection, and experience are no longer the exclusive domain of hospitality and today, they’re critical components of successful workplace design too.
That’s why Ege Carpets is bringing together some of the industry’s most progressive voices for The Hospitality Crossover: Designing Spaces That Work and Welcome, a live panel during Clerkenwell Design Week exploring how hospitality-led thinking is revolutionising the way we work.
Taking place on Wednesday 21st May at 9am at the Ege Carpets Showroom, this insightful discussion will be hosted by Alys Bryan, Editorial & Marketing Director of Design Insider. She will be joined by a dynamic panel of senior figures from across hospitality and workplace design, including:
- Federico Toresi, Global VP Design, Accor
- Megan Dobstaff, Design Director, Gensler
- Simon Kincaid, Partner, Conran and Partners
- Erik Svensson, Senior Associate, Perkins & Will
- Giorgia Harrod, Senior Concept Designer, Ege Carpets
Together, they will dive into how hybrid expectations are transforming both sectors, exploring the convergence of design codes, the creative opportunities it unlocks, and the challenges it presents around identity, function, and purpose.
The conversation will explore critical industry themes including:
- Blurring boundaries: How does hybrid work force both hotels and workplaces to rethink core experiences?
- Designing for culture and comfort: What creates a true sense of belonging in today’s interiors?
- ROI and the new value proposition: Can hospitality-style spaces deliver commercial impact?
- Experience-driven disruption: Are offices now leading the charge in design innovation?
- Futureproofing: What design shifts will define the next decade in hospitality and workplace?
Whether you’re a designer, architect, operator or strategist, this event is a must-attend for anyone interested in how interior design can create spaces that both work and welcome.
