New High Point Market Tour
This new exclusive HPMKT tour will educate interior designers on the new emerging field of biophilic design and how to create environments that support well-being. Your experienced tour guide, Linda Kafka, will take you on an unforgettable showroom journey where you'll discover products of biomorphic forms and patterns, materials with a connection to nature, complexity and order, along with fractal patterning, textures and color selections. You will learn about the visual and non-visual connections with nature and why they are important in your designs.
During this tour, you will hear from Mike Peterson, co-founder of the Science in Design Summit, on the “human need for nature.” Mike will share modern day design examples of biophilia's prospect and refuge, modes of mystery, and the thrill that risk and peril evoke when added to spaces.
We will visit select showrooms offering a range of beautiful furniture, accessories, art, lighting and rugs that stimulate a biophilic response.
This tour will provide the foundation's necessary for thinking and designing more critically about the human connection with nature and how biophilic patterns can be used as a tool for improving health and well-being in the residential built environment.
Registration will open shortly at: https://www.highpointmarket.org/
