Our panelists spoke with conviction on their experiences at the fair, offering our audiences an engaging, interactive, and ultimately more meaningful report than can be gleaned from a screen.

Discussing what can Australian design + Architecture take from the world’s biggest furniture fair – from aesthetic trends to commercial developments, were our panelists Emma Elizabeth, of Emma Elizabeth Designs; David Caon, of Caon Studio; Georgia Hickey, of SJB – led by Lorenzo Logi, Managing Editor of Indesign.

It was a great evening of discussion and opinion, and good company. Thanks again to SPence & Lyda for being such wonderful hosts.
