There aren’t enough adjectives to describe the brilliance of Charlotte Moss and the mark she continues to leave in the design space—and beyond. The Richmond native is an author, an award-winning interior design mogul, speaker, philanthropist, and a self-described flâneuse—one who wanders through a city.
On Wednesday, Sept. 24, Moss will wander to Charlottesville’s Farmington Country Club for the Conversations on Design event. Moss will host fellow design visionaries for a full day of well, conversations on design.
From coffee socials to moderated conversations and lunch, the event is sure to make its mark, especially by finishing with a bang with a tour of Southern Living’s Idea House in Keswick—designed by Moss.
On top of it all, Moss will host a book signing of her latest, limited edition book, Charlotte Moss: Home A Story (Rizzoli, 2025). Filled with fabulous photography, rich details, and timeless Southern charm, Moss invites readers into not only the Idea House but also her mind during the creative process.
