Pretty With A Purpose: The Art & Science of Artwork Selection
Presented by Anne Strickland, Great American Art
Showroom Host: Kravet
As research continues to shed light on the documented benefits of art on well-being, more organizations are seeking to use art for more than its decorative properties.
This CEU seeks to educate specifiers on the research that supports art’s impact on a building’s occupants, and how it can be used to support the overarching goals of the project.

In this course, we explore a cutting-edge technology, called Ultracompact Surfacing.

Pigment to Perception. Ensuring You Get the Color You Want.
Presented by Jess Ritchie, Farrow & Ball
Showroom Host: Farrow & Ball
In this course, how we see and perceive color will be explained. We will explore the functions of human sight and how lighting and depth can change how we interpret color. We will also compare the differences of seeing color digitally and by the naked eye. Participants will leave with an understanding of the factors that determine how we see color. They will be given direction on making sure they are finding the most accurate depiction of the color they want to portray.
Custom Shower Solutions for the Luxury Consumer
Presented by Johnn Ventimiglia, Kallista
Showroom Host: M-Geough
While the bathroom was once a strictly utilitarian space, a growing trend among luxury consumers is to create a custom, spa-like wellness retreat right in the home. Surveys find that luxury consumers value functional and design excellence, uniqueness that reflects a creative side, and exceptional quality and value. This course examines the shower products available that help to create a personalized, multisensory wellness experience with beautifully designed pieces that meet water efficiency standards.
