3pm – 4pm CONVERSATIONS IN DESIGN DISTINCTIVE INTERIORS: HOW TO DECORATE WITH A DIFFERENCE Hosted by Livingetc TALK, First Floor, Design Centre East Everyone wants a home that is beautifully decorated and works effortlessly. But getting the design right is only just the start. Inspiring spaces also reflect the owner’s personality with a playful use of colour, texture and pattern, combined in a cohesive yet uniquely indefinable whole. Livingetc’s executive editor Neil McLennan is joined by three acclaimed experts who each bring a fresh approach to decorating, with work that is creative, exciting and speaks of the client rather than the designer. Nicola Harding, founder of Harding & Read, Charles Bateson of his eponymous studio and Georgina Cave, founder of Cave Interiors explore how they bring individual flair by throwing out the rule book and embrace individual style with passion and humour. Book ticket: £10

FREEDOM OF CREATIVITY Ground Floor, Centre Dome Specially commissioned for Focus/18, a flutter of butterflies swirl into the domes. Taking cues from the free-spirited approach to colour and creativity that is in the ascent, the aerial installation, conceived by Arabella McNie, has a decidedly positive mood. A bird with exotic plumage and butterflies with jewelled wings have been fashioned in joyous palettes and exuberant colour combinations. The butterfly is a symbol of metamorphosis, and with its undisputed momentum, Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour continues to evolve and develop, championing the design world with its confident vision. 156
