MDD Talks at Bruton Place

14 & 15 September
01

Not For Everyone

Why the most interesting homes are deeply personal.

What makes a home feel truly individual? This conversation explores the move away from prescribed ideas of good taste towards interiors shaped by personality, memory, instinct and the people who inhabit them.

14 September · Arrival 8.30am · Talk 9–10am RSVP

Can You Design Personality?

What makes us fall in love with a place?

Why do some hotels, restaurants and spaces stay with us long after we leave, while others are instantly forgotten? This conversation explores how designers create places with character, atmosphere and emotional resonance, and whether the elusive quality we call personality can ever really be designed.

15 September · Arrival 8.30am · Talk 9–10am RSVP

London Square, 3rd Floor, 21–25 Bruton Place, London W1J 6NB. Limited spaces, RSVP required.

Mayfair Design District brings the neighbourhood's galleries, showrooms and houses into one programme.

At the heart of Mayfair Design District is its community. Across September, October and November, MDD brings together the galleries, designers, makers, brands and cultural institutions that make this part of London so distinctive. Through exhibitions, conversations, late nights, openings and cultural collaborations, we create opportunities for our community to connect, share ideas and welcome new audiences into the District.
