For us, ELLE Decoration has always been about community – our wider readers, subscribers and digital followers, of course, but also the creatives and companies we support and rely on for inspiration, invigorating ideas and beautiful projects. They have all driven what we do throughout our history.
Our new series of in-person talks, Design Discussions, very much links to this idea of community. It is something we’ve been developing since the end of the pandemic as a way to bring together and celebrate the talented individuals who shape our world; and an opportunity to partner with some of the most innovative brands in the business.
Far from cookie-cuttter, the events are a meeting of minds, each with their own unique identity – a chance to share ideas and discover new concepts. At our inaugural Design Discussion, held in partnership with Larsen at Café Cecilia, the guest list included stars from the British interior design scene (as well as a talk between ELLE Decoration’s Ben Spriggs and Larsen Design Director Béatrice Bostvironnois).
What's everyone reading?
Then, a few days later, we brought together thought-leaders from the UK’s most influential companies at Dorian for a lively debate with Tristram Hunt, director of the V&A.
Look out for where the conversations will take us next…
