“Confessions” speaks about the designer’s personal perspective by the in-depth exploration of the secrets behind the creation of spaces of grandeur, intimacy, comfort, fluidity, freedom and power.
Design is seen as an act of spatial manipulation to produce a specific experience. The user gets then in contact with the intentions of the designer.
By questioning the personal thoughts, memories and experiences, we want to reveal the key motives, desires and passions that shaped the unique signature of a designer.
When explained from the designer’s human perspective, cultural background and professional experience, spatial design principles are made accessible to a broader audience.

When you sit down with Harm Tilman, you’re not just talking to an expert in architecture and urban planning—you’re engaging with someone who knows how to bring out the deeper stories behind every space. Harm has spent decades shaping conversations in the world of architecture, guiding designers, thinkers, and creatives to share their unique perspectives.
Ever since Harm visited Villa Müller in Prague during his studies, he has been fascinated by the question of what spaces do to our senses. Especially now that more and more interaction takes place in the digital realm, the importance of the real world, i.e. the functioning of real space, can hardly be underestimated according to Harm.
His approach goes beyond simply asking questions. Harm creates a space for meaningful dialogue, helping interviewees uncover their true motivations and insights. Together, you will explore the hidden layers of design, space, and human experience, revealing stories that matter.
