Join HOME for an exclusive day of inspiration at Design Forecast
Inspired by the Milan Furniture Fair, Design Forecast is a private tour of Auckland’s design community, led by HOME editor Simon Farrell-Green. Please join us for a day of workshops covering the trends that will shape the year ahead – along with an exclusive tour of the perfectly curated Britomart apartment you see above.
The detail
With many of our guest experts just returned from Milan – where every major brand in the world releases their new work – the timing is perfect to catch up on the look for 2018 and beyond.
At Design Forecast, you’ll be escorted by HOME’s editorial and events team, starting with a champagne morning tea. Along with four showrooms, we’ll visit the apartment of Kristina Pickford in Britomart’s historic Dilworth building. And we’ll stop for a bespoke lunch, accompanied by local wines, at Cibo.
