Passport to Style: The Design Anatomy Tour

Twenty episodes down, and what a journey it's been! Lauren and Bree reflect on Design Anatomy's debut season while sharing exciting news about where the podcast is heading next—literally.

With Paris and Milan firmly in their sights, the hosts are taking The Design Anatomy on the road through exclusive, intimate design tours. Unlike typical tourist experiences, these adventures are crafted for just eight design enthusiasts who'll dine at one table, explore premier showrooms, and immerse themselves in global design destinations.  They reveal that their first Paris - Milan tour sold out instantly, proving there's a genuine hunger for these curated design experiences.

Beyond these immediate plans, Lauren and Bree are already researching London for September 2025, coinciding with London Design Festival. Bree's brief but transformative three-day visit recently sparked a love affair with the city's rich design culture, showrooms, and creative energy. Plans for Milan 2026 are also underway, establishing what will become an annual tour to one of design's most influential gatherings.
