The Rise of Wellness & Spa Design
with Dr. Gerald Huber , Luke Hughes, Daniella Russell

We are experiencing a new era in wellbeing. People want health in both mind and body, an opportunity to escape and clear the mind, rest the body and relax in ‘paradise’, whether that is in the comfort of their home, at their local spa or on holiday at a health resort.

Hurried contemporary life is increasingly leading us to seek islands of calm and tranquillity where we can be in touch with ourselves and regain balance and wellbeing. This is opening up opportunities for designers, suppliers and operators of the spa industry.

This panel session will explore:

• How spa and wellness is becoming an increasingly stronger part of our daily survival;
• The rise in both residential and commercial wellness spaces and the opportunities this poses for design;
• How a holistic approach to wellness design, from the atmosphere to the equipment, can determine the effectiveness of the experience for the consumer;
• How interior design impacts on the spa experience and how health equipment manufacturers are incorporating a sense of ‘lifestyle’ into their products; and
• How customised furniture for spas and spa resorts are impacting the overall wellness experience
