Hosted in our West Melbourne showroom, the event gathered guests from the Architecture and Design community, all interested in hearing our panellists’ expert thoughts.
We recently had the privilege to host the IDEA Gold medal panel discussion on ‘Designing for Workplace Wellness’ in partnership with Australian Design Review (ADR). Our incredible panellists included Rob Backhouse, Sue Fenton, Emily Carter, and our very own design manager, Carly Krost.
Hosted in our West Melbourne showroom, the event gathered guests from the Architecture and Design community, all interested in hearing our panellists’ expert thoughts.
Moderated by ADR’s editorial director, Emily Rayner, the discussion included various aspects of workplace design and its impact on employees' well-being. The panellists recognised that the traditional approach of simply building offices no longer works. They stressed the importance of understanding individual needs and taking a customised approach, as there is no longer a one-size-fits-all solution.
They emphasized the significance of listening and understanding the specific needs of individuals in the workspace. Designers should consider factors like accessibility, mental well-being, neurodiversity, lifestyle, and sensory elements when creating office environments. Following the talk, guests were invited to a beautiful Italian-themed dinner.
Our team then guided them around our 2600m2 showroom where they could view our entire collection. We’d like to thank our panellists, our partner Australian Design Review, our team, and our wonderful guests for joining us.
