Bing brings together tastemakers and experts to share insight on the intersection of beauty and functionality and how technology plays a role in modern design.
NEW YORK — Earlier this week, Bing gathered together a variety of taste makers and journalists at an intimate and interactive panel to discuss the convergence of design and technology. Moderated by Scott Erickson, senior director for Bing, we heard from panelists designer Jonathan Adler, HGTV personality David Bromstad, fashion designer Cesar Galindo, ELLE Décor senior editor Ingrid Abramovitch, and Michael Kroll from the Bing team.

Conversation was lively, with each expert weighing in on the idea that technology is moving to a state where beauty and functionality work hand in hand. The new Bing that we unveiled on Tuesday, September 17 is doing just that with a beautiful look that draws the eye in, and clean, simple layout. Each of the panelists shared some of their influences, many overlapping with the modern aesthetic and bold colors that inspired the Bing designers.
