From Specification to Installation: The Art of Supplier Collaboration

How do you balance design ambition with the realities of hospitality? This panel explores the decisions that sit between specification and installation, from choosing fabrics for performance and understanding Martindale ratings to meeting fire compliance requirements across furniture, fabrics and wallcoverings. We’ll also discuss bespoke furniture, project customisation and how early collaboration between designers, suppliers and contractors can reduce risk, avoid costly changes and deliver better results.
