About this Event

Service Through Design: Reimagining Community Impact.

Hosted by Classic Home, this conversation brings together The Design Besties—an influential group of creatives—who are redefining the role of design in our communities & beyond.

From transforming teacher lounges to reimagining overlooked spaces, this panel will dive into how creative talent can become a tool for care, dignity, & cultural influence. We will share how intentional design shapes experiences, fosters connection, & creates lasting impact—while also navigating how to build a sustainable, purpose-driven design career.

Expect thoughtful insights on balancing creativity with business, setting boundaries, & evolving your work into something both meaningful & enduring.

Whether you’re a designer, creative, or simply passionate about the power of thoughtful spaces, this discussion will leave you inspired, informed, & empowered.

Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of a conversation where purpose meets practice—& design becomes something greater.

See you in Showplace 2400!


About Classic Home

Classic Home began when founder Harpal Singh started selling handwoven kilim rugs, believing that authentically crafted home furnishings made with honest materials could transform spaces & reshape how people live in them. Inspired by the rugs, Harpal searched for other pieces that embodied his values of quality & authenticity, always reshaping & refining his vision for what inspired spaces could be. Thirty years on, our search continues as does our commitment to sourcing pieces that transform, complete, & most of all, inspire your spaces.


About the Design Besties

The Design Besties is a nonprofit collective of designers driving change through events, education, & impact projects. Our latest initiative gifts professionally designed teachers’ lounges to schools in need, honoring the educators who shape us. Partner with us to build equity & beauty into spaces that recharge our teachers.
