Beyond Minimalism: Designing With Character

Can contemporary interiors be both beautifully restrained and deeply inviting? This intimate and insightful talk brings together a panel of experts to explore how thoughtful detailing and clever craftsmanship can bring warmth, depth and character to modern spaces.
The event is co-hosted by Simpsons and Soho Lighting, with both brands' Creative Directors - Alexander Yardy and Lee Lovett - on the panel. They will be joined by special guests Brian Woulfe, Founder and Director of interior design studio Designed by Woulfe, and Lucinda Baring, Deputy Editor of Country & Town House, who will compere the talk.
