Muuto’s Neuroaesthetics: A Space That Just Feels Right

How do our surroundings make us feel—and why? Neuroaesthetics explores the powerful mind-body connection in design, revealing how light, colour, form, texture and space influence our emotions, focus and sense of well-being.  

In this talk, Mackenzie Roseland from Muuto shares how scientific research and Scandinavian design values come together to create spaces that feel calm, human and intuitive. Moving beyond surface-level beauty, neuro-aesthetics looks at how design engages the senses and shapes our everyday experiences.

Through real-world insights and research-led thinking—including collaborations with leading neuroscience institutions— Mackenzie invites us to reconsider the role design plays in our lives. Join us for an inspiring conversation on how thoughtful design can support comfort, connection and a deeper emotional response to the spaces we inhabit.
