A Glimpse of YOUR 2021 IFI WID Celebrations

Congratulations to all who participated in your IFI World Interiors Day (IFI WID) 2021. Your myriad activities inspired by the theme ‘Design as a Global Conversation’ were in turn super inspirational to us at IFI. Your creativity and dynamic celebrations explored and recognized the ideas, places, contexts and, of course, people who ‘shape the spaces that shape the human experience’.

Your efforts, executed in countless ways – both virtual and in-person – including panel discussions, symposia, roundtables, talks, videos, interviews, writings, exhibitions, project highlights, open houses, workshops, giveaways and awards/recognition, shared enthusiasm and energy exactly when we all needed it the most. Topics ranging from the deeply profound to the light and fun provided insight and levity. We were touched, moved and in awe of you and our extraordinary world community.

We are delighted to share a flavor of these celebrations with you through this “gallery at a glance”. These images capture some of your plans and moments of conversation, discussion and debate on topics such as:

○  Heritage & identity in a global context

○  Good design for the common good

○  Design as a cultural articulator

○  Working from home

○  Becoming a designer

○  Careers in Interiors

○  Post-pandemic adaptation and rise

○  Wellbeing at center of the workplace

○  Social dimension of Interiors

… and many more!
