High Point Market panel explores how nostalgia and neuroscience are reshaping interior design
From cherished vintage pieces to timeworn antiques and storied objects, nostalgia has become both a cultural and interior design movement, backed by market trend data.
Allison Zisko, Editor-in-Chief of Home Accents Today will moderate a panel discussion, “Nostalgia Now: Why Memory, Emotion & Story are Re-Shaping Interior Design” on Friday, Oct. 24, from 2-3 p.m. at Suites at Market Square featuring trend forecaster Jaye Anna Mize, VP of Creative at Future Snoops, and Julia Reinert, The Lifestyle Historian, as they explore how “modern heritage,” cultural memory, and biographical objects shape interiors that feel grounded, personal and restorative.
Linda Kafka, a leading expert in neurodesign and founder of the NeuroDesign Academy, will also explore why our brains and bodies respond to age, patina, materiality and sensory detail, explaining how certain textures, shapes, patterns, and forms evoke comfort, memory and emotional resonance. Together, they uncover how science, and story along with the growing movement in nostalgia intersect to create spaces that feel intuitively meaningful.
Attendees will join an experiential component and leave with fresh insight and language to explain not only what they create, but why it resonates so deeply with clients.
