Interior Design Conversations: Narrative Homes

Together with these leading voices in sustainable and human‑centred design, we will examine how material choices, design systems, and ecological thinking can shape more responsible and resilient living environments
This sesión invites participants to look at interior design through a deeper, more human‑centred lens—one where homes become narratives of identity, care, ethics, and long‑term responsibility. We often think of interiors as a collection of materials, objects, and styles, but what if they could also serve as storytellers of our priorities, our relationship with the planet, and our vision for a healthier future?
Our speakers Will challenge conventional frameworks by examining how material choices, ecological thinking, and new design systems can transform domestic spaces into living, evolving expressions of wellbeing. From healthier environments and responsible sourcing to emotional connections and resilience, the panel will show how design can shift from simply shaping space to shaping behavior, values, and long-term impact.
Expect an inspiring exchange between global experts who are redefining what it means to design for life. Together, we’ll reflect on how a life‑centred approach can lead to homes that are not only aesthetically engaging, but also more conscious, ethical, and deeply aligned with the people who inhabit them.This evento is part of Interior Design Conversations, a series curated and moderated by Robert Thiemann that delves into how interior spaces can generate meaning, foster wellbeing, and support positive transformation through thoughtful, innovative design.
