On Sunday I travelled up to Decorex International for this years event, starting off with a incredibly interesting talk: Enlightened Design: Sustainable Lighting Solutions. The most interesting part was getting to sit beside fellow lighting makers Lee from The Soho Lighting Co and Matt from John Cullen Lighting and talk about our own journeys working towards circular design and building a more sustainable lighting business. Thanks to Jules Haines for chairing and spurring on some great topics. The second talk with fellow Interior Design Declares - UK steering group members Chloe Bullock, Cat Hoad and Nicola Holden, skilfully chaired by Mirry Christie was a lovely delve into how to create an effective sustainability plan. As we all have different insights and experience, there were some super helpful suggestions on how to avoid being overwhelmed and start small. We're all on a journey and its incredibly important to support each other in a positive supportive way. A simple starting point?
