# Event Details - **Event Name**: Karen Haller: Better Design Through Human Behaviour - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 22 Sep, 2026 at 02:30 pm – Tue, 22 Sep, 2026 at 03:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: How can a better understanding of human behaviour help designers make better design decisions?About this EventEvery design decision shapes human experience. Looking at design through the lens of human behaviour offers another perspective on how people experience and respond to the spaces we create.Join organisational psychologist and TEDx Speaker Marc Prats and Karen Haller for a relaxed but focused conversation exploring what influences human behaviour, how this understanding can inform design decisions, and the role colour plays in shaping the way people experience a space.Guests will leave with a fresh perspective on the relationship between colour, design and human behaviour, and new questions to take into their future projects.Meet MarcMarc Prats is an organisational psychologist, TEDx speaker and co-founder of Larsen Architecture's coaching and mentoring programme for design professionals. Working alongside Ryan Wenham, he helps interior designers and architects build stronger businesses by developing the confidence, communication and commercial skills that design education often overlooks.With a background spanning education, recruitment and organisational psychology, Marc brings a unique perspective to the creative industry, helping designers better understand client relationships, leadership, pricing, personal branding and business growth. His engaging, practical approach has seen him speak at events across the UK, creating conversations that challenge thinking and leave audiences with ideas they can immediately put into practice.Inside Talk SpaceThis year’s show will feel a little different as we celebrate Design Central’s 10th anniversary.

Having spent over 10 years travelling to London to visit suppliers and see new collections, we thought it made sense to bring those companies and collections to interior designers in their own location.Cath McCubbin, an experienced Interior Designer, believes that you should not have to pay to see prospective or current suppliers at an event and that if like her you are constantly in and out of the office, trying to find time to make appointments to see reps is not easy. Cath thought it would be easier to set aside a couple of days to see everyone you want, who are keen to see you and most important of all - they are all in one place.​Starting in 2016 with only 20 companies, this has continued to grow year on year and now we have well over 100 well-known luxury interior brands.Great care is taken in choosing the perfect locations that allow companies to display their collections in a beautiful setting. With the events growing year on year, they're ideal for finding fab new products and seeing the latest collections, these bi-annual events are ones you'll not want to miss." } ] } ] ```
