Join us at our Corporate Affiliate Humanscale’s showroom for a breakfast sharing session—a perfect way to kick‑start your day with good company and fresh ideas!
Bob King will present Humanscale’s development from an entrepreneurial venture to a global design business, based on his collaboration with designer Niels Diffrient. The session will explore how, by observing behaviour, challenging assumptions and simplifying design, the two helped address everyday seating problems. Participants will be able to consider how this approach can inform healthier, more inclusive design and responsible leadership in their own practices.
