Pandemic & Perspective – The Interior Design Challenge

Published on
February 4, 2021
Nandita Manwani

The Pandemic is forcing Interior Designers to think differently. The doubling up of the home as an office is inducing cultural changes in the home environment that need a fundamental shift in perspective in how home interior design needs to be thought, planned and executed.

I will be speaking on this Design shift and challenge that the Pandemic poses to Home Interior Design & the Design fraternity in my upcoming lecture at the St. John’s Institute of Management Leadership Conference 2021.

Anyone interested in attending can check here http://www.sjim.edu.in/leadership_conference.php

Cheers
