At its essence, Livingetc's series of Design, Directed dinners are about what happens when you get the right people in the right room. Our favorite creatives, sharing ideas about the future of design, informally piecing together where decor is going next. Interior designers next to muralists, textile makers next to brand leads, with no press releases, no panels, and no pitches — just passionate people hanging out and chatting about what matters (and what doesn’t), in a setting that feels more like an intimate supper club than an industry event. Where connections are forged over beautifully plated food.
Our latest event, in partnership with Farrow & Ball, was held at Gold in Notting Hill, and the evening was a masterclass in atmosphere. The long table was layered in soft, desert-scape hues and stunning sculptural arrangements from local florist Calluna… the kind of florals that make you stop mid-conversation just to take them in. We gifted charming matchboxes made of bespoke Compton Marbling and these were the touch that completed the place setting.
