In interior design, "embodied environments" refers to spaces thoughtfully crafted to engage the full spectrum of human senses and experiences, recognizing the mind-body connection central to how people perceive and inhabit places.

This concept draws from embodied cognition, a theory in neuroscience and psychology stating that our minds, bodies, and surroundings are deeply intertwined—so that the textures, sounds, smells, materials, and forms in a space influence emotions, memory, creativity, and overall well-being.

This approach stands in contrast to environments that are visually impressive but leave people feeling detached or overwhelmed. An embodied environment becomes a living, interactive backdrop to daily life, supporting health, creativity, and a strong sense of belonging within the space.

“Emotional Design: The Power of NeuroDesign to Nurture Mind, Body, and Soul” will showcase 14 speakers—some of the most brilliant minds, thought leaders, and top experts in our field.
These distinguished speakers will share cutting-edge insights from diverse domains such as neuroscience, marketing, sensory design, and material innovation—areas that are transforming our approach to designing for health, emotion, and well-being.
Their collective wisdom will create connections through hands-on training, implementing practical tools that extend beyond theoretical concepts. This will provide real-world strategies and applications, empowering interior designers to excel and craft spaces that resonate deeply with clients.
