Design Lab: Design, Deconstructed

Design doesn’t have to be intimidating, and it doesn’t have to follow a set of rules

Design Lab: Design, Deconstructed invites you inside the creative process as we demystify design together – through an immersive, multi-sensory experience that reveals how design truly works. By engaging the senses: touch, feel, sight, scent, and spatial awareness the Lab explores how the smallest details influence the choices we make when designing spaces that feel intentional, personal, and most importantly alive…

Where Color, Texture, and Scent Tell a Story

Through hands-on exploration, attendees are invited to experience how color, materials, fabric, pattern, texture, and scent work together to shape mood, memory, and meaning. Led by an innovative group of local designers, thinkers and creatives, the Design Lab deconstructs the design process into its core elements, showing how sustainability, sensory awareness, and creativity intersect to create spaces that support well-being, spark inspiration, and encourage everyday moments of calm.

You don’t need to be a “designer” to stop in. In fact, the most important perspective is your own. This is an invitation to slow down, engage your senses, rethink what design can be, and simply rediscover the joy of creating. Come experience. Come explore. Come hang out. Come play…
