Auckland Design Week 2025 delivered another exceptional lineup of design innovation, with creative minds from all over the world converging to explore what’s next for interior design. This year, Pocketspace Interiors had the privilege of contributing to the conversation through our very own Laura Heynike, who was selected as a panelist in a discussion that focused on the future of workspace design.
Key Takeaways from Laura Heynike’s Panel Discussion:
1. The Importance of Agility in Modern Workspaces
Laura’s panel discussion emphasized the growing demand for flexible workspaces that cater to an evolving workforce. The days of rigid office layouts are being replaced with environments that encourage collaboration, adaptability, and personalisation. Whether it’s modular furniture or tech-integrated meeting spaces, the workplace of the future must be able to pivot as quickly as the work itself.
2. Sustainable Design: Not Just a Trend, But a Necessity
Sustainability took center stage during the event, and Pocketspace Interiors champions this shift toward eco-friendly design. Laura shared insights on how the materials we choose and the processes we implement can help reduce carbon footprints while enhancing the well-being of employees and clients. From recycled materials to energy-efficient lighting, sustainability is no longer a luxury but a responsibility.
3. The Emotional Impact of Interior Design
The importance of psychological well-being in design was another major theme of the week. From lighting choices to color palettes, Laura highlighted how interior design can affect mood, productivity, and overall health. This insight reminded us that a well-designed space can elevate the human experience—whether in a hospital, home, or office.
