Interior Design Conversations: Sacred Spaces of Wellbeing, Ritual and Emotional Resonance

What happens when design moves beyond function and becomes a form of care? In this conversation, Pallavi Dean and Arianna Bavuso explore how interiors can nurture the human spirit through atmosphere, ritual and emotional resonance. 

 Drawing on work that bridges wellness, culture and sensory experience, they discuss how design can be both scientific and intuitive, poetic and practical. 

 Together, we’ll examine how interiors might evolve into modern sanctuaries: places that restore balance, spark connection, and hold space for the emotional and cultural rituals that shape our lives. 

Part of Interior Design Conversations, a series curated and moderated by Robert Thiemann that explores how interior spaces can create meaning, foster wellbeing, and drive positive change through design.
