Home furnishings brands - Phillips Collection, Thompson, and Feizy - will also take the stage and reveal how they are embracing the science and design connection and reflecting that in their product development. Eryn Oruncak of Elan Design will moderate.

Panelists: Mark Phillips of Phillips Collection, Alejandra Thompson de Jordan of Thompson, Michael Feizy of Feizy Rugs.

with Neuroaesthetics.

The interior design industry has been recently introduced to a science called neuroaesthetics. This discipline of measuring how the mind and nervous system respond to one's environment and art will become mainstream on a global scale in the way people think about their spaces. You will learn the connections that humans have to beauty and what makes someone think, feel, and act a certain way in a room. You’ll gain vocabulary and knowledge to elevate communication with clients to get the yes, what brands support neuroaesthetic and biophilic design, and how to increase profitability in your business using key neuroaesthetic principles.

Sponsors: Elan Design, Feizy Rugs, Phillips Collection, Science In Design, Visual Comfort & Co.
