Brexit's Impact on Design On June 23, UK voters will decide on a possible Brexit – or Britain's exit – from the European Union. Among those that stand to be directly affected by the outcome of the vote are designers and manufacturers trading in Europe. What might a Brexit mean for their industry, and what could it mean for goods we buy here in the US? We talk to Christopher Farr, creative director of his own contemporary rug and design company with showrooms in West Hollywood and London.
