In Perfect Harmony: A MESDA Design Seminar
Winston-Salem, NC
May 2-3, 2025
Moderated by J. Thomas Savage, MESDA’s longtime Design Seminar host and the Director of Educational Travel & Conferences at Colonial Williamsburg, this program brings together notable architects, designers, and gardeners to share the latest trends in design, and how they create harmony between a home, garden, and a space’s history.
During the Saturday program, we’ll hear from Lady Xa Tollemache, Author of A Garden Well Placed, about her experiences designing the gardens at Helmingham Hall while remaining in harmony with the home. We’ll then learn from Charlottesville-based interior designer Charlotte Moss, author and editor of over a dozen books and star of the American interior design world, about her design influences. Finally, interior designer and architect Steven Gambrel, part of the Architectural Digest’s AD100 in 2023, will share how he creates modern interiors rooted in tradition. The day will close out with a book signing.
