The Design Exchange is a James Cubitt Interiors experience that brings together clients, designers, architects, developers and industry partners for an evening of ideas and conversation.

This edition, Beyond Aesthetics, looks past how spaces look to how they make people feel, work and connect: the role of design in wellbeing, culture and performance in the places where we spend our days.

What to expect

• Conversations with designers, clients and industry leaders
• Ideas on wellbeing, culture and the future of the workplace
• Time to connect with peers across the built environment
• The full programme and speakers, announced soon
