RIBA East: The Cambridge Colour Palette Workshop

Explore colour in design with RIBA East, Crown Paints, and BIID in collaboration with Stacey Barnfield from the Colour Palette Company. This workshop is exclusively tailored for architects and interior designers.

Join us for an inspiring and hands on workshop exploring the role of colour in architecture and design. Hosted by RIBA East, Crown Paints, and the British Institute of Interior Design (BIID) this breakfast event invites architects and interior designers to develop a unique Cambridge Colour Palettes inspired by the city's landscape, heritage, and identity.

We’re thrilled to welcome special guest Stacey Barnfield, designer, writer, and founder of the Colour Palette Company. A creative project that transforms iconic places into beautiful, meaningful colour stories. Stacey will share how colour can express a sense of place, spark emotion, and elevate design thinking.
