A digital extension of 'Circles of Architects(R)'

"We started the Circles of Architects(R) sessions in 2007, which involved holding regular
meetings with groups of ten to twenty interior architects all over the world to get their
feedback on our concepts and ideas in the early stages of the design process. During these
sessions, they exchange ideas about the profession with fellow architects and designers,
discuss trends in architecture and floor design and listen to inspiring guest speakers.
"On the online Circles of Architects(R) platform, we want to continue this dialogue
and give everyone the opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas and together discover
new perspectives and innovations."
Social media
The online platform promotes interactivity and ongoing dialogue. Collot d'Escury
explains: "We've linked the website to various social media like Facebook, Twitter and
LinkedIn to ensure people have to opportunity to engage with us and each other on a
regular basis. The Circles of Architects(R) Facebook page can also be a source of
inspiration as it also features news about architecture, design, fashion, art, upcoming
talent, seminars and exhibitions."
Co-creation
"As a company, we believe very strongly in co-creation. The success of our products is
not just the result of our own knowledge, but very much down to interaction and the
feedback we receive from interior architects and designers, clients and suppliers," says
Collot d'Escury. He adds, "Circles of Architects(R) gives it shape. Both physically and
online, it's a platform for and by influential design professionals."
