On July 6, Hotel Designs will be taking over YOTEL Manchester for MEET UP North. The event will welcome the hotel design community – interior designers in Manchester, as well as architects, hoteliers and industry suppliers in the North, to be part of a meaningful networking experience.
To take the event to the next level, Editor Hamish Kilburn will chair an immersive panel discussion entitled ‘Blurring the boundaries between spaces’. “The panel discussion will be split into three sections, and the idea is for us on the panel to physically move around the venue,” he explained. “We have decided to add this rehearsed movement into the discussion so that the conversation about blurring boundaries using design will be captured from different scenes in the venue.”
The panellists are:
-
- Luke Artingstall, Director and Founder, Artin Light
-
- Katie Edgar, Director of Interior Design, YOTEL
-
- Tim Hubbard, Founder and Creative Partner, 93ft
-
- The panel will be moderated by Hamish Kilburn, Editor, Hotel Designs
The panel discussion at will explore how interior designers and brands alike are creating cohesive design narratives that flow between all hotel spaces. Together, Katie Edgar, Director of Interior Design, YOTEL; Tim Hubbard, Founder and Creative Partner, 93ft and Luke Artingstall, Director and Founder, Artin Light – moderated by Kilburn – will discuss how to connect different areas of the hotel seamlessly. The aim of the conversation will be to understand how architectural restrictions and budget limitations – together with the growing demand for adaptive reuse – can become projects’ greatest strength, allowing design to play a major role in defining the hotel and brand’s character.
