Space Matters

Nashville Design Week was founded to showcase our city’s design talent, unite our design community through collaboration, and teach the public about the impact of design. Nashville Design Week is a platform for bold collaborations and conversations that promote idea sharing, engage and educate the public, and strengthen our city’s design culture and impact.

Alfred Williams & Company's Nashville team was honored to be a founding sponsor for Nashville Design Week’s inaugural year. They hosted three programs that were focused on the concept of how space matters and how the disciplines represented impact space. The first program was a lecture given by Eames Demetrios, grandson of Charles and Ray Eames, focusing on understanding space and the impact Charles and Ray Eames’ holistic vision of design has had on the design community. Following the lecture, we gathered experts from various skill sets to weigh in on why space matters to them, how they impact it and how we’re all using our own unique discipline to create spaces that matter.
