Aroma & Ambiance: Designer’s Edition
Sunday, October 26 | 12:00–2:00 PM
Design is never just visual—it’s multi-sensory. Join us for an inspiring afternoon with three visionary women shaping the future of design: Marie Cloud of Indigo Pruitt, Sue Wadden, Director of Color Marketing, Sherwin-Williams and Jane Dagmi, Managing Director of HPxD, for an intimate conversation on the role of sensory design in shaping how we experience space. This event explores the intersection of color, pattern, lighting, and scent and how these layered elements influence mood, memory, and overall well-being.
In collaboration with Crystorama, Spoonflower, Sherwin Williams and Private Label Fragrance, the showroom will feature three curated capsules where wallpaper, color, fragrance, and lighting converge to create immersive vignettes. Guests will experience firsthand how bold pattern, layered light, and custom scent can transform the emotional resonance of a room—whether for residential interiors, hospitality spaces, or wellness environments.
The first 100 attendees will receive a gift bag designed around the theme of design and wellness, offering tools and takeaways to continue the conversation beyond Market. A light lunch will be served, making this both an inspiring and restorative midday experience.
