Global Hospitality Talk once again proved why it’s such a standout on the hospitality calendar—a true global success bringing together hospitality’s brightest minds in the most welcoming and forward-thinking way.

We were thrilled to see our Editorial Director, Alys Bryan, take the stage to moderate a conversation focused on elevating guest and resident experiences through design. A huge thank you to the brilliant event organisers Can and Lorraine for making it all happen with such style and spirit.

Alys was joined by an incredible line-up of speakers:

Nesrine Tourqui, Vice President, Cedar Capital Partners

Mark Eacott, Global VP of Design, Ennismore

Matthew Muré, Director of Technical Services – Residential, Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas

Steven Blaess, Head of Interiors, Clivedale London

There were so many thought-provoking takeaways from the discussion, here are just four:

Mark shared how Ennismore is redefining amenity programming—moving beyond the expected with soulful concepts like the Listening Room at HYDE Dubai Hills and the Salon + Honesty Bar at 25H Heimat. It’s not about ticking boxes, but curating meaning.

Matthew explained Six Senses’ holistic approach to wellness in residential spaces—from red light therapy to clean air systems—ensuring every service and design choice supports real, lived wellbeing.

Nesrine spoke about the power of place-based design, revealing how collaborations with local artisans (like at Six Senses Greece) create a richer, more sustainable luxury that also respects ROI.

Steven explored how invisible sustainable systems—like HVAC and passive comfort strategies—can be seamlessly integrated into high-end interiors. When treated with care, these behind-the-scenes innovations elevate both comfort and luxury.

We left inspired, and full of ideas!

“The aesthetic and emotional gifts design can bring are being undervalued by schemes that look good on paper – but only on paper.”

In our latest Workplace Matters, Sarah Dodsworth, Founding Partner at Ekho Studio, shares a powerful perspective: Are today’s workplace interiors becoming too safe, too samey, and too engineered to inspire?

As sustainability standards, accreditations, and hybrid models take centre stage, Sarah asks whether creativity is quietly slipping through the cracks—and what that means for the future of truly meaningful design.

From the pressure to “tick every box” to the impact of education cuts and AI, this article is a must-read for anyone who believes design should still spark joy, emotion, and originality.

Cheers to 60 years! One of the world’s most respected interior design practices is celebrating a major milestone — and stepping into a bold new chapter.

Formerly Mlinaric, Henry & Zervudachi, the studio is now officially Zervudachi, Roberts & Macadam, a name that reflects the trio behind its continued success: Tino Zervudachi, Jason Roberts, and Laurence Macadam.

With an impressive legacy that includes the V&A, Royal Opera House, Waddesdon Manor, and collaborations with Kengo Kuma, the studio has always balanced timeless craftsmanship with a highly personal approach. As Tino Zervudachi puts it:

“Our hallmarks are a respect for quality, a strong understanding of architecture and artisanal workmanship.”

Current projects span Palm Beach, Miami, Switzerland and beyond — proving that 60 years in, ZRM is just getting started. Congratulations to the entire team on this incredible milestone!
