Designing with Intention

A Conversation with Michelle Adams & Olga Naiman

​

Join us for a thoughtful and inspiring conversation between Michelle Adams, celebrated interior designer, founder of Lonny, and former Editor-in-Chief of Domino, and Olga Naiman, renowned interior stylist, author, and founder of Spatial Alchemy, a design practice that merges interiors with the principles of transformation and human psychology.

 

Together, they’ll explore how intentional design can make a home both beautiful and deeply personal - reflecting your values, goals, and inner life. Learn how antiques, sustainability, and mindful choices can shape spaces that tell your story.

 

After the talk, Olga will sign copies of her new book Spatial Alchemy: Design Your Home to Transform Your Life.
