Using the psychology of space design to create safety and comfort.

Bringing together Unilever’s top 150 global leaders, we were tasked to facilitate a four-day conference and create a safe and welcoming space where leaders could be vulnerable as they embarked on a series of courage-building workshops.

To complement the rich itinerary, including a keynote from world-renowned researcher and storyteller Brenee Brown, we used the psychology of space design to use curved lines in the floor plan via cafe-style pods to create a sense of safety, calm and comfort and give quieter areas for personal work and breakout spaces.

To further soften the environment, we used hanging fabrics, swivel chairs, aromatherapy and fidget toys to create a multisensory experience, all aligned with Unilever’s new internal brand identity, which was revealed to the leaders for the first time.
