The Salone Internazionale del Mobile is staged once a year in Milan, and a group of lucky interior design students of the American Intercontinental University in central London, and members of the British Interior Design Association (BIDA) experienced this trip organised by Susan Llewellyn. It was planned to excite and stimulate ideas for future design projects, and certainly didn’t disappoint!
Inside almost everyone is an interior designer wanting to escape and, to gratify those who want to unleash their hidden designer, Susan runs courses and tours. She explores all aspects of the design process, whether the psychology of design, drawing up a brief, working with suppliers, trend forecasting, colour matching, soft furnishings or building up a portfolio.
Or, if you are interested in the history of design, you could accompany Susan on one of her tours during which she shares her knowledge and perspective on buildings, art and design.
