Zuo Modern invites design professionals, enthusiasts, and market attendees to an inspiring luncheon event during the Winter Las Vegas Market. Set in the heart of Zuo’s showroom, this exclusive event offers an opportunity to gain insight into cutting-edge design trends while connecting with fellow industry professionals. The highlight of the event is an engaging talk by Tamara Romeo, co-founder of the Design Coach Collective (DCC) and a visionary in the field of commercial interior design.

 

The luncheon is set to explore transformative themes in modern design, focusing on RESI-MERCIAL Design and the concept of Third Spaces. These groundbreaking approaches redefine the way we think about environments, blending comfort, functionality, and style for diverse spaces.

 

Agenda Overview

 

Welcome and Introduction

 

The event kicks off with a warm introduction from Tamara Romeo, joined by DCC’s Ginger and Rachel. Together, they’ll highlight their collaborative efforts and dedication to empowering the design community. Attendees will also hear about the vision and leadership of Luis Ruesga and Marcela Ugalde, who have established Zuo Modern as a global leader in innovative furniture solutions.

 

The stage will be set for a deep dive into two key themes:

1. RESI-MERCIAL Design – Blending residential comfort with commercial durability.

2. Third Spaces – Community-focused environments that enhance connection, productivity, and relaxation.

 

Part 1: Understanding RESI-MERCIAL Design

 

Tamara will introduce attendees to the RESI-MERCIAL design trend, a hybrid approach that integrates residential aesthetics into commercial spaces. This design philosophy has gained traction in response to shifts in lifestyle and work habits, including the rise of remote work and an increased focus on wellness.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • What is RESI-MERCIAL Design? A balance between home-inspired comfort and the practicality required in high-traffic commercial spaces.
  • Why Now? As people seek spaces that feel inviting yet functional, this design style addresses both emotional and operational needs.
  • Design Features:
  • Comfortable furniture with natural textures.
  • Thoughtful layouts that mimic the warmth of home.
  • Durable materials that stand up to heavy use.

 

Tamara will share real-world examples of RESI-MERCIAL success stories, from boutique hotels to coworking spaces. She will highlight how Zuo Modern’s furniture collection supports this trend, offering versatile, stylish, and durable pieces that cater to these evolving needs.

 

Part 2: Introducing Third Spaces

 

The session transitions to an exploration of Third Spaces, environments that exist outside of the home (first space) and workplace (second space). These spaces are designed to encourage connection, productivity, and relaxation, and have become a key focus for businesses looking to enhance user experience.

 

Topics Covered:

  • What Are Third Spaces? Examples include cafés, coworking hubs, hotel lobbies, and community lounges.
  • Value to Stakeholders:
  • Enhanced User Experience: Third Spaces create inviting atmospheres where guests, clients, or employees feel at ease.
  • Building Community: These environments foster connection and collaboration.
  • Brand Differentiation: Unique designs leave lasting impressions and promote loyalty.

 

The ROI of Third Spaces:

  • Higher Revenue: Hospitality settings see longer guest stays and increased spending.
  • Tenant Retention: Commercial spaces with well-designed amenities boost lease renewals.
  • Increased Productivity: For corporate spaces, Third Spaces encourage creativity and collaboration.

 

Tamara will also provide real-world examples where Third Spaces have driven measurable success. Zuo Modern’s product line, particularly its modular and multifunctional furniture, will be showcased as ideal solutions for creating these spaces.

 

Part 3: Insights from the Design Coach Collective

 

Tamara will be joined by Ginger and Rachel, who will discuss the Design Coach Collective’s collaborative design philosophy. Together, they’ll share experiences of working with clients to integrate RESI-MERCIAL and Third Space concepts into their projects.

 

Key Principles of Collaborative Design:

  • Comfort meets functionality.
  • Versatility in design to adapt to evolving needs.
  • Aesthetics that leave lasting impressions.

 

Attendees will gain actionable tips to elevate their design careers, learning how to incorporate these concepts into their own projects. The Design Coach Collective will also share how their coaching community helps designers connect, grow, and succeed.

 

Conclusion and Q&A

 

The event concludes with a recap of the day’s themes:

1. The importance of RESI-MERCIAL Design in bridging the gap between home and commercial aesthetics.

2. The transformative impact of Third Spaces on user satisfaction, community-building, and ROI.

 

Attendees will be encouraged to explore Zuo Modern’s showroom to see these concepts come to life. Tamara and the DCC team will invite follow-up conversations and consultations, offering a chance for guests to deepen their understanding and collaboration.

This event is more than a talk; it’s a chance to immerse yourself in the future of design. Whether you’re an established professional or just starting your journey, the insights shared by Tamara Romeo and the Design Coach Collective will inspire and inform your approach to creating spaces that truly make an impact.
