the way most designers work. This social media platform is used

chosen seven designers working in interiors to create ‘inspiration
kiosks’,selecting images from their personal Instagram that reflect
their inspiration. The installation will highlight interior designers
using Instagram to create spaces that connect and inspire people.

Campbell, Lee Broom and Suzy Hoodless
