Wendy Clarke will be presenting Nesting with Nature – Indoor & Outdoor Spaces exploring the emerging trend of environmental issues and how they have become a major factor in the design of indoor and outdoor spaces.
This is a great opportunity to discover how to move away from fabricated materials such as stainless steel to the use of natural, organic materials with a contemporary edge.
Colour and Communications Manager for Dulux Australia Andrea Lucena-Orr will present surrounds from Runway to Wall, 2008- 09 Forecast with what's hot, what's not and what colour trends are coming in from an Australian perspective and how these colours create stunning interiors.
New to the 2008 Fair will be free workshops this year with topics such as Understanding Leather with Ken Bristow, Texicote and service related topics including How to Succeed Selling Face to Face and How to Increase the Average Dollar Value of Every Customer AND Get Them to Return, with Mark Davis from The Davis Consulting Group and The Benefits of Buying Australian Made and Promoting a Customised Service with Carol Carter from Dunlop Foams & Matthew Baker from Sofas International.
Trade visitors who participate in the Industry Seminar Series and/or Free Workshops will have the opportunity to take away invaluable inside knowledge on upcoming furnishing and design trends as well as insights into how renowned designers make their projects work successfully.
