Brisbane Indesign Returns in 2012

November 11th, 2011

2011 saw Saturday in Design visit Sydney and, for the first time ever Singapore, as showrooms threw open their doors to the public on a fun, creative design-filled Saturday.

2012 sees the return of Brisbane Indesign, a day for the Sunshine State to celebrate its flourishing local talent.

With the support of the Queensland Government, we’re bringing the original Brisbane design event back to the city, uniting over 4000 of the most respected architecture and design professionals and the best new local and international products.

In a Brisbane first, 2012’s event will include The Project – letting local artists and designers join forces with exhibiting showrooms to create the weird and wonderful installations that we’ve all come to anticipate at Saturday in Design events.

We’re also mixing things up a bit with a brand-new initiative – we can’t reveal too much at this stage, but we can say it will take Brisbane Indesign to an all-new level, engaging the local fashion industry and showcasing the relationship between the thriving design and fashion industries.

Register your interest here to stay up to date on Brisbane Indesign developments as they happen, and ’Like’ us on Facebook to make sure you’re the first hear the latest.

We’ve got a lot more exciting news to come over the next few months – so stay tuned as we bring you more on Queensland’s much anticipated event, and the ultimate showcase of local creativity – Brisbane Indesign!

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.

Indesign Luminary: John Andrews

In the mid-1960s, he was the first Australian architect to achieve a high level of international recognition, especially in North America where he was seen as an American architect working in the then fashionable ‘brutalist’ style. But John Andrews has at times been less comfortable in Australia where several signature buildings have been treated with less respect than they deserve. Indesign thought it time to celebrate one of the icons of Australian architecture.
