Kimball International | Alternative Conversations: Exposing the Seams
Kimball International Hosts "Alternative Conversations: Exposing the Seams"
Thursday, July 30 | 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM Eastern Time
You’re Invited!
Join Kimball International for the virtual premiere of their latest Alternative Conversations, Exposing the Seams, where design experts explore the evolving role that authenticity, craftsmanship, and material honesty play in design.
In a world becoming increasingly shaped by digital experiences and artificial intelligence, the value of human touch feels more meaningful than ever. From hand-stitched seams to exposed joints, visible craftsmanship invites connection, sparks curiosity, and reminds us why thoughtful design matters. In this conversation, we explore how craft, process, and material integrity are shaping a renewed cultural appreciation for authenticity and the important role the design community plays in carrying these ideas forward.
