Gaggenau, Thermador, Bosch Experience & Design Center

What makes a kitchen truly unforgettable? It's not one extraordinary feature—it's the thoughtful layering of details that could only belong to one home and one family. Join Jasmin Reese of Jasmin Reese Interiors, Diana Wagenbach of Studio W Interiors, and Laura O'Brien of O'Brien Harris for an inspiring conversation on the art of customization. Explore how bespoke cabinetry, handcrafted stone, tailored layouts, and purpose-driven appliance selections come together to create kitchens that are deeply personal, effortlessly functional, and designed to stand the test of time.

The most memorable spaces are never the result of a single vision. They are shaped through the collaboration of designers, architects, manufacturers, artisans, and builders, each contributing specialized expertise to a shared pursuit of excellence. Join Jay Takech, Christina Conant, and Jennie Bishop as they explore how the strongest creative partnerships transform visionary ideas into spaces defined by beauty, performance, and craftsmanship. Drawing on their collective expertise, the panelists will share how early collaboration, material expertise, and precision execution fuel innovation, solve complex design challenges, and create a seamless path from concept to completion. Attendees will leave with fresh perspectives on collaboration as both a creative discipline and a strategic advantage, discovering how the right partnerships can elevate their work, enrich the client experience, and strengthen the long-term value of their design practice.
