On Thursday, June 12, ASID will present two exclusive DESIGN Talks sessions, spotlighting the latest design trends, closet innovations, and interior solutions shaping the future of home organization.
Insights on Design’s Evolving Impact
The first ASID session, “Insights on Design’s Evolving Impact,” is scheduled for Thursday, June 12, from 12:50 p.m. to 1:50 p.m. in the Coral Ballroom. This presentation will look at ASID’s 50 years of design leadership and forecast the industry’s future.
Lindsey Koren, ASID Affiliate and Director of Communications at ASID, will join forces with Perrin Graham-Jackson, ASID Associate and Chair-Elect of the ASID Universal Design Committee, for an engaging presentation. Together, they’ll explore how adaptive design strategies seamlessly integrate with sustainability, style, and smart technology—highlighting innovative approaches for closets, storage solutions, and beyond.
“The closet is becoming a hub of innovation,” Koren stated. “Fashion and interiors are converging, with consumers favoring timeless, functional pieces that reflect individuality.” Koren added.
