On Thursday 1 June a crowd of design lovers gathered at Objectspace for the 2023 edition of Design Lives HERE, our special design event with Here Magazine.

There were moments on the political power of craft, BIG laughs, personal musings on a cast iron pan, lost tattoos and more. At its heart, this event is like a warm and wonderful adult show and tell.

Browse below for a window into the action, all made possible by the support of Cemac Commercial Interiors. 

Our warmest thanks to Here Magazine’s Simon Farrell-Green for his collaboration and for MCing the evening. To our brilliant speakers — all SO different but spoke SO well with SO much heart. Thank you Rosanna Raymond, Chris Parker, Karamia Müller and Tom Hishon.

And to our friends on the hospitality front — thanks Scapegrace and Allpress Espresso for the martinis, Black Estate and Greystone for the wine, Liberty Brewing for the beers, and Almighty and Good Sh*t for the fizzy.
