5. Conran and Partners X Double Decker

Conran and Partners, a respected architecture and interior design practice, specialising mostly in the hospitality industry, had collaborated with Double Decker for a styling workshop. The Creative Directors from Double Decker, an art curation business, held an interactive workshop throughout the event. Grabbing attention from a curious crowd, many wanted to create their own curated story telling with random objects. It was a fun, playful and engaging experience. The workshop uncovered unknown talents in the passers by, some of whom were delighted with what they had put together.
