In Pursuit of Silence

Designing for a hospitality experience involves more than focusing only on visual appeal. With customers and designers ever more aware of the importance of great acoustics, we discuss why acoustics are so important to the guest experience, and who is leading the innovation in design and solutions. Supporting film.

Experiential Roundtable | Viajante87 | Tues 17th Oct

Lighting the Senses

We often think of the aesthetic concept of an F&B space as the most critical part of the design. Few would argue with this. But sight is only one of our senses. To have a unique sensory experience, surely all the senses need to be considered? How does this affect how we design? Do we even consider the sounds, smell and touch that we are to encounter?

BY INVITATION | This event is in partnership with KKDC, FPOV & ARC.
