The winners of our 2023 Robert Ledingham Memorial Award will take the stage on October 17 at Kitchen Infinity Atelier.
Have you been to one of our WL Design Talks lately? It’s our professional development series with a twist—that twist being a glass of wine and some great conversation to kick the night off, naturally. WL Design Talks are a fantastic opportunity to connect with other design professionals, while learning from peers.
We’re thrilled to announce that our next WL Design Talks will be delivered by one of our 2023 Designers of the Year award winners: Robert Ledingham Memorial award recipients Trish Knight and Nicole Varga of Knight Varga Interiors.
In conversation with our editorial director Anicka Quin, Knight and Varga will be sharing ideas and concepts for how to solve that age-old puzzle: defining warm and inviting spaces within large, open-concept rooms. They’ll share some of their award-winning work, showing how they worked with architectural elements—while maximizing views and considering the needs of the people and pets who live there.
And for IDIBC members, every WL Design Talk is eligible for one non-IDCEC hour of professional development credit.
Join us on Tuesday, October 17 for a glass of wine and great conversation!
