Keynote Session

The Force of Beauty

What role does beauty have-and what does it really mean- when it comes to great design? Is there a universal standard, or is this elusive force indeed in the eye of the beholder? Moderated by Katherine Scully of Architectural Digest, this conversation focuses on the effect of beauty across a spectrum of design disciplines, and examines how it can go beyond mere prettiness to ignite consumers' passions. Panelists include: Holly Hunt, CEO, Holly Hunt LTD; Peter Sallick, Chairman, Waterworks; Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar; Ross Klein, President, W Hotels Worldwide.
