An Inspired Solution

May 22nd, 2012

The new Inspiration Office is the place to visit to explore creative solutions for work and education spaces.

With its extensive range of products from global innovator Steelcase, the showroom offers world-class products and local knowledge and experience.

As well as showcasing their range, the Inspiration Office team will be hosting a series of events at Brisbane Indesign. There’ll be coffee master classes for visitors to hone their barista skills, as well as a ’Speed Collaboration’ activity involving movers and shakers from the design world.

Register with Inspiration Office prior to the day to secure an open collaborative session with Angelo Di Marco, CEO, Woodhead; Anya Ayoung Chee, fashion designer and winner of Project Runway US; Pia Robinson, social media blogger and gallery manager of Ryan Renshaw Gallery; or Bruce Simoneaux, global workplace research and strategy guru and Principal of Applied Research & Consulting by Steelcase.

Inspiration Office’s unique installation for The Project sees them team up with Woodhead and QUT 3rd year interior design students to explore the idea of an interconnected and interdependent Brisbane design community.

Supported by Quadric, the group has reimagined Fortitude Valley as the Common Thread linking the various elements of the design community together.

Visitors will be asked to share their dreams for Brisbane over the next 100 years, their thoughts represented by an ever-changing structure that will appear to grow throughout the day.

Submitting a ’dream’ will give visitors entry into the Inspiration Office prize draw, with a Coalesse SW_1 high lounge chair up for grabs for one lucky winner.
