Unveiling the Power of Pattern: An Exclusive Design Insider Event
Design Insider is thrilled to announce our upcoming panel discussion in partnership with Newmor Wallcoverings, supported by Panaz and Print Pattern Archive.
This free talk event, titled “The Power of Pattern: What role can pattern design play in ‘new luxury’?” will be held on June 6th from 6 PM at the majestic Monastery in Manchester. Guests are invited to delve into the significant role of patterns in modern luxury, witness the launch of Newmor’s latest collection, and enjoy an evening of socialising with design professionals.
Luxury has historically been associated with exclusivity, but in today’s world the term luxury is subjective – it means different things to different people. Can pattern and design be inclusive, relevant, and accessible to all commercial sectors?
Newmor Wallcoverings stands as the largest independent commercial wallcovering manufacturer in Britain. Under the stewardship of Managing Director David Johnston, Newmor prides itself on its commitment to British design and innovation.
“We are delighted to be hosting our first event with Design Insider, alongside Print Pattern Archive and Panaz. This event is a fantastic opportunity to discuss the evolving landscape of commercial interiors and the integral role of pattern,” says David Johnston.
The Power of Pattern: What role can pattern design play in ‘new luxury’?
Patterns do not just fill spaces; they create luxurious environments. “Clever use of pattern and colour are essential to creating memorable spaces that resonate and inspire, whether you’re designing for 5-star hotel, workplace, or healthcare care “ notes Rose Campbell, Head of Design and Marketing at Newmor. Her enthusiasm underscores the event’s aim to explore why these elements are pivotal components of commercial interior design.

Moderated by Alys Bryan, the Managing Editor at Design Insider, speakers include Rose Campbell from Newmor and Cheryl O’Meara from Print Pattern Archive.
The panel will delve into how pattern influences the perception of luxury through its impact, creative process, and inspiration, before discussing the evolution of iconic patterns, the blend of hand and digital techniques in crafting wallcoverings, and pattern’s ability to infuse luxury into hospitality spaces. This engaging discussion aims to uncover how patterns, alongside other design elements, create inviting interiors, challenging traditional notions of luxury and anticipating its future direction.
