We came out in droves for Orgatec 2018 – the year that Australians dominated the German commercial furniture fair quite unlike ever before.

The grey skies of Cologne were not enough to dampen the spirits for an Aussie design cohort. Coming together at the Radisson Blu, our Orgatec event was the perfect backdrop for the community to share a drink and swap stories.

Dance for Life is a rare opportunity for the architecture and design community to really let its hair down and party – all for a good cause. 2018’s dance celebration was no exception.

Last week saw hundreds of products across a wide range of categories awarded in the annual Good Design Awards. Here we highlight the projects and products that remain close to our heart – architecture, interiors and furniture.

With the launch of ThinkingQuietly, a new range of high-performance acoustic furniture from ThinkingWorks, Stylecraft continues their tradition of providing the Australian market with the latest and greatest in commercial furniture.

Dance For Life (DFL) supports ReachOut, a platform for youth dealing with mental health issues. With current statistics stating that up to one in five Australians experience symptoms of mental illness, it is something that many in the design community, and the wider community, come into contact with.

After a 4-year hiatus, Dance For Life returned to the design community in March this year. Next year, it’s back again at the Overseas Passenger Terminal in Sydney’s Circular Quay — promising to be bigger and better than ever.

Earlier this month, ThinkingWorks celebrated the launch of their new ThinkingQuietly range of acoustic-ready workplace solutions with an epic silent disco on Sydney’s waterfront.

After a brief hiatus from the spotlight, Dance For Life returned to Sydney for an epic designer showdown!

Dance for Life, the architect dance contest, has returned to once again raise money to support teens and youths suffering from depression.

ThinkingWorks supplies the commercial furniture industry globally with leading edge products. Last month, the company teamed up with Forza in Auckland to launch the okidoki, Focused and Touch product ranges.

More than 100 attendees from Sydney’s architecture and design community attended the Business Interiors by Staples’ Moment with MOMENT design competition, where the winners were announced at a cocktail event at Sydney’s Mojo.

The Touch chair from ThinkingWorks fuses the classic elements of an office chair, with a pure functional design narrative and playful bursts of colour.

Okidoki was born from the idea of creating a timber table and chair family which can easily transition from Home to Office, with the cheeky, fun and space saving design measures, it brings a sense of informality to the chosen environment.

ThinkingWorks and Debetrek held an exclusive product launch in Brisbane, ‘Touch Wood’ at the stylish Moda Restaurant on the 21st of May.

ThinkingWorks held their exclusive product launch “Touch Wood” in their Woolloomooloo showroom last Thursday. Showcasing the Focused Work Table, Touch Chair and the Okidoki product ranges to the leading architects and designers.

Desks that are height adjustable did not always exist. So where did they come from? Why are they so important? And where are we now in terms of development?

Designed for the agile office, Focused is a flexible work table system for task-driven activities rather than personal work settings or formal meeting spaces.

Okidoki is the result of collaboration between District and ThinkingWorks, making work life less ordinary in a stylish but functional designer-friendly workstation.

Thinking Ergonomix took the time to cook up a unique hands-on event for the A+D community in Melbourne
