If you’re not sure where to start with Designing with Country and Country-centred Design practices, then join us for a First Nations designed and led day of yarns and workshops that unpack these practices with leading figures in the field contributing their expertise for the day.

Sessions are designed to be informal and interactive between presenters and participants to create space for honest conversations about the brilliant, sometimes boring and mind boggling corners of our industry.

Open to AILA, AIA and PIA members and all interested First Nations mob, this program aims to take down the barriers and offer space for industry professionals to get into what really matters to us, from where we stand.

grounded – a yarning day on Gadigal Country for mob telling their stories in human constructed environments.

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
