The upcoming webinar series in collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects explores how the post-pandemic environment has forced us to reconsider our understanding of the traditional definitions of living, working and leisure. Particularly for the Interior design industry, these questions necessitate an investigation into the pre-established typologies in both the private and public realms. Hosted by SBID’s founder & CEO, Vanessa Brady, the series intends to examine specific typologies, the conflation of their boundaries, the emergence of new definitions of interior space and the consequential impact on the people who commission, design and use them.
For PART 1 of the series, the focus is on the hospitality and travel industries which have faced considerable challenges during the pandemic. The limited mobility and opportunities for interaction between people during this period have meant that demand has waned. On the other hand, continual restrictions has created a pent-up need to escape and to bolster one’s well-being. The panel discussion will address how hospitality as an industry foresees a fundamental change in the services that it is expected to provide, and how design can navigate these restrictions while satisfying the needs of current lifestyles.

Going to the toilet, washing our hands – these are daily routines that we don’t think much about. For most of us, having sanitary facilities with clean water is not given much thought day-to-day. However, for two billion people globally – who lack access to sanitation – it isn’t as simple. And the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened this vast difference in access to water, sanitation, and hygiene. LIXIL, maker of pioneering water and housing products that includes GROHE in its iconic brand portfolio, sets a target of improving sanitation and quality of life for 100 million people by 2025 through its technology and capabilities as a global leader.
Join Jin Montesano, Chief People Officer, LIXIL and Carla Haddad Mardini, Director, Private Fundraising and Partnerships, UNICEF on LIXIL brand GROHE’s digital experience hub, GROHE X, for a thought-provoking conversation centred around how LIXIL and UNICEF are combining their strengths to support underserved communities to improve the quality of life for millions.
