Known for their richly layered interiors and narrative-driven approach, Post Company has built a distinct voice across hospitality, retail, and residential design. In this conversation, partner Jou-Yie Chou and creative director Anton Anger discuss the studio’s evolution, creative process, and recent work. Expect an inside look at how the firm approaches storytelling, materiality, and collaboration to create spaces that feel both intentional and immersive.

The boundaries between design disciplines are increasingly fluid. Strategies once associated with hospitality—storytelling, placemaking, and an emphasis on experience—are now shaping projects across sectors, from residential buildings and cultural institutions to sports venues and retail environments. This panel will explore what how collaboration across disciplines expands creative possibilities, and why the future of design lies in approaches that are hybrid, experiential, and connected to how people live, gather, and engage with space.
