Past Event

London, UK

In September 2025, Women in Office Design (WOD) hosted a special event at the Task Systems’ London showroom as part of the Shoreditch Design Triangle. The evening gathered leading workplace designers and industry voices to reflect on the concept of Slow Design and its role in shaping meaningful, human-centred environments.

In a world where speed often outweighs substance, this session invited the design community to consider a different pace — one that champions well-being, thoughtfulness, and longevity in workplace design.

As the year moves into its final quarter, the event provided an opportunity to pause and reassess the environments we create, and how they affect the people who use them. Slow Design is not about resisting progress, but about ensuring that progress creates meaning — shaping spaces that matter physically, emotionally, and culturally.

The panel explored how workplace designers can balance the pressures of fast-moving business demands with the need to embed slowness where it counts, creating environments that endure and support people in more meaningful ways.
