About this Event
It's for interior design professionals and the artisans, makers, suppliers and service providers they rely on to bring projects to life. It exists to build a stronger creative network that can, in turn, strengthen the North East economy.
If your world touches interiors, you’ll fit.
- If you design homes, commercial spaces or workplaces and want to find a clearer route to trusted makers, this is the room where it happens.
- If you’re a supplier who wants decision makers to understand not just what you sell but how you think, Mixer makes space for that.
- If you’re a furniture maker, an artisan, a fabricator who wants to see how designers choose materials or why tiny details matter, you’ll find those answers here.
Mixer is a non-profit event organised by SPELK. and supported by Design Network North.
