Milliken showroom becomes a wellness zone at CDW 2018

Milliken showroom becomes a wellness zone at Clerkenwell Design Week 2018

In recognition of Milliken becoming a founding member of the Well Living Lab the flooring designer and manufacturer’s stunning Berry Street showroom became a ‘wellness zone’ during Clerkenwell Design Week.

For the opening night there was a panel debate: ‘The Future is Well’ chaired by Jeremy Myerson (Director of WORKTECH and Chair of Design at RCA Helen Hamlyn research centre). The panellists were Ann Marie Aguilar (Director of Operations, WELL Building Institute), Ali Ganjavian (Co-Founder, Studio Banana), Glenn Elliott (author of ‘Build It: The Rebel Playbook for Employee Engagement’) and  Joyce Chan (Head of Sustainability, HOK).

Throughout the three days of the event, Milliken offerered creative mindfulness drawing and writing workshops as well as tea blending and tasting with Hackney Herbal. Internationally acclaimed artist Liz Atkin presented an abridged version of her Ted Talk on how she confronts her complex compulsive condition through art, followed by a graffiti workshop ‘drawing as a tool to relax the mind’.

Award-winning writer, journalist, teacher and writing mentor Elaine Kingett ran mindful writing workshops. Mindful writing can help free the imagination and clear creative blocks. Participants can learn how to apply mindfulness to the process of writing through exercises and practices and see their writing emerge.

Milliken took part in Clerkenwell Design Week for the ninth consecutive year, since the event began in 2009. For 2018 Milliken launched their latest collection carpet tile collection Crafted Series in their expansive Berry Street showroom featuring three floors of innovative carpet collections and collaborative design space.
