Part of the Design for Everyone program, the Designer Rugs Creative Pulse seminars aim to engage the Design Hunters™ in the deeper meanings and power of design; how design can ignite and inspire, and how emotions perform a crucial role in our ability to understand the world.
The seminars will explore what moves us physically and emotionally; our experience of objects and environments, how colour resonates, and how we are moved when we look at something beautiful.
The seminars will be held on Thursday 28 July 2011 in the Designer Rugs Melbourne showroom with 2 allocated time slots: 10am – 12pm for General Public and Students 6pm – 8pm exclusive to trade clients. RSVP to [email protected] by 15 July.
