“The Modern Grand Tour: How Global Travel Inspires Design” at DISCOVER ADAC

For centuries, the "Grand Tour" was a rite of passage that defined the tastes and aesthetics of the Western world. Though today's world is more accessible than ever, one question remains: how does leaving home to explore the unknown shape the way design is created? In this keynote, GEORGIA DESIGN Editor-in-Chief Fran Worrall and globe-trotting designers Lisa Fine, Jackye Lanham, Courtney Moss, and Katie Ridder explore travel as the ultimate catalyst for great design, discussing how immersion in other cultures revitalizes creative vision and informs color, pattern, and lifestyle. The more multifaceted the cultural vocabulary, the richer the design language.

Following the presentation, join Lisa, Jackye, Courtney, Katie, and Fran for a reception in the Travis and Company showroom to continue the discussion. Enjoy light bites and peruse Travis and Company’s collection of textiles, furnishings, wallcoverings, and more. (Travis and Company | Suite 131)
