Last Tuesday night, in Sydney and Melbourne, we held our Indesign Milan Review – at Spence & Lyda in Sydney and Jardan in Melbourne. Here we look at the Melbourne discussion.

At the Melbourne review, held at Jardan, our panelists discussed their experiences at the fair, offering our audiences an engaging, interactive, and meaningful report.

The focus was on what Australian design + Architecture can take from the world’s biggest furniture fair – from aesthetic trends to commercial developments, which our panelists Narelle Cuthbert, of Plus Architecture; Leo Terrando, of SJB; and Celina Clarke, of ISM Objects – led by Alice Blackwood, Melbourne Editor, Indesign Media – discussed with conviction.

It was a great evening of discussion and opinion, and good company. Thanks again to Jardan for being such wonderful hosts

Soundscape serenity meets geometric pizazz

The difference between music and noise is partly how we feel when we hear it. Similarly, the way people respond to an indoor space is based on sensory qualities such as colour, texture, shapes, scents and sound.

Sustainable Materials: Designing Greener With Confidence

Sustainability is paramount in modern design. In fact, one could argue that if a design isn’t sustainable, it isn’t truly modern. With a clear understanding of the negative implications of climate change and access to sustainable resources, selecting sustainable materials isn’t a choice anymore. It’s an urgent obligation – and a long-term commitment.
