Reading Design Trends at Elements Kitchens

Join us for displays, talks, and workshops which explore the influence that global trends and fashions have on local design. 

This event explores three core questions:

1 . How important are global trends and fashions when it comes to everyday and local designs?

2 . To what extent should we keep up-to-date with the latest designs?

 3 . How can we balance 'global' with 'local' designs?

Who is the event for?

This event is perfect for anyone interested in...

  • fashion and design trends (enthusiasts, beginner- professional designers)
  • learning how to adapt trends for their own personal or business use
  • design thought-leadership debate to explore the influence of, and the direction of, design trends
