As an interior designer, influencing clients to make more conscious choices doesn’t have to mean a compromise in style. Focusing on both aesthetic and function, subliminal changes can encourage positive lifestyle shifts. And, these inherent design selections are being made easier thanks to new innovation and technology from brands within the sector. In this conversation we discuss some of the solutions which are readily available and how small changes can add up to make a bigger difference.
Panellists: • Roddy Clarke, Journalist (Chair) • Jules Haines, Founder and Director of Haines Collection • Simone Suss, Founder and Director of Studio Suss • Roberto Martinez, Member of the Executive Board at Kaldewei

Following a popular launch drawing large crowds last year, this high-energy event gave new to CSIE suppliers the chance to pitch one headline product or service to design studio and cruise line judges. Among these were George Scammell (Director, Interior Design, Princess Cruises), James McIntyre (Procurement Director, MSC Cruises), and Peter Joehnk (Founder and Partner, JOI Design).
Interactive sessions run by industry thought leaders will be also taking place at exhibitor stands throughout CSIE.

Sustainability is today’s most urgent topic for interior designers. In 2021, the World Travel and Tourism Council established an ambitious roadmap to reach net zero by 2050. This set out guidelines suggesting sustainable design practices for hotels, airlines, and cruise lines. These three sectors are already making progress, with prominent changes including key industry players setting sustainability targets and initiatives, adoption of circular product lifecycle schemes, and the cruise interiors community collaborating to establish a Sustainable Maritime Interiors initiative.
The inaugural Sustainable Design Summit (SDS) built strong foundations for the event, with many meaningful conversations and insights taking place across the day’s plenaries and roundtable discussions. These offered a variation from the standard conference format, providing an increased focus on collaboration and in fostering new connections between delegates.
“Fantastic venue, great mix of people and some really interesting speakers. A really timely and important event,” Ben Orson, FlyZero Cabin Lead at Orson Associates comments. “It was both enjoyable and highly useful for making new contacts and picking up new ideas and insights. I certainly hope to make it a regular item in the diary.”
Now in its second year, SDS attendees will be turning their attention from conversation to action. This will be catered to in a curated agenda featuring interactive breakout sessions. Here, representatives of these three industries will converge to hold deep cross-sector conversations ranging from product lifespan planning to creating a more collaborative supply chain across all stakeholders. Sustainable Design Summit will also host a Product Showcase featuring the most environmentally responsible products within the cruise, hotel, and aviation design sectors.
Expert-led conference sessions will navigate a variety of topics including understanding, analysing, and using emissions numbers to drive improvement. Delegates will also gain insight into how they can avoid greenwashing in marketing and understand the regulations and legislation sustainable products must comply with. Speakers already confirmed include Zuzana Hrnkova, Vice President & Head of Marketing, ATR, André Pettersen, President of Hotel Operations, Hurtigruten Norway, Sam Hall, Director, Interior Design – Europe – IHG Hotels & Resorts, and Siu Lie Tan, Founder, Circular Symbiosis.
