DESIGN TRIP 2026

A journey of Immersion,
Discovery & Inspiration

There are design trips, and then there are experiences that shift your perspective, recharge your creativity and connect you with the very essence of design excellence. Our 2026 Europe Design Trip is crafted for the curious, the bold, and the creatively driven. For six unforgettable days, we’ll immerse ourselves in the beating heart of global design: Paris.

This is not a holiday. This is a design pilgrimage. Expect connection, growth, and moments of true creative transformation. With limited places available, and an itinerary unlike any other, this is your opportunity to travel with purpose, guided by leaders who understand both business and beauty.

The people.

What truly sets the TDC trips apart is the people.
 

We’re known throughout the industry for curating groups that feel like instant family. No egos. No cliques. Just generous, engaged professionals who are as excited about beautiful design as they are about building lasting connections.
 

“I’m now just over a week back from what I can only describe as an extraordinary trip of a lifetime... Andrew and Jillian have truly outdone themselves, creating an experience that not only inspired me with house tours and keynote speakers, but enabled me to appreciate the design industry and the wonderful colleagues that make this profession so worthwhile.”

- Tennille Joy

“It completely exceeded my expectations, and I have been on an absolute design high since returning home! Beyond the stunning architecture, informative talks and delicious food, the experience was enriched by the wonderful group of people I had the pleasure of meeting along the way.”
