National Graduate Exhibition at Object Gallery, Sydney, until 15th June 2008.
April 23rd, 2008
Young designers from across the country have competed with fellow students to exhibit their work in Object’s annual national graduate exhibition Design Now!, on show in Sydney at Object Gallery, until 15 June 2008.
The Design Now! competition was judged in April to a packed crowd, seeing a graduate from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Kevin Azzopardi, presented with the Object Award for Creative Innovation, while Sydney graduate Sian Power, from College of Fine Arts, was awarded The Living Edge Travelling Scholarship (work pictured).
The Living Edge Travelling Scholarship is the result of a new partnership between Object and Living Edge, and includes a return trip to Los Angeles (to visit Eames House and the Living Edge LA Showroom), as well five nights accommodation and $1,000 spending money.
Previous winners of the graduate exhibition, such as Trent Jansen and Frag Woodall, have been catapulted into the public eye with the recognition of receiving such a highly competitive award attracting attention from the design industry and manufacturers.

BLANCOCULINA-S II Sensor promotes water efficiency and reduces waste, representing a leap forward in faucet technology.
Within the intimate confines of compact living, where space is at a premium, efficiency is critical and dining out often trumps home cooking, Gaggenau’s 400 Series Culinary Drawer proves that limited space can, in fact, unlock unlimited culinary possibilities.
In design, the concept of absence is particularly powerful – it’s the abundant potential of deliberate non-presence that amplifies the impact of what is. And it is this realm of sophisticated subtraction that Gaggenau’s Dishwasher 400 Series so generously – and quietly – occupies.
Ecoflex is a minimal masterpiece, combining a clean understated aesthetic design with outstanding functional flexibility. It’s stylish, light and built with sustainability in mind. It makes an impact on any interior without making an unnecessary impact on the environment.
From relationship building to experiencing creative design interventions – Saturday Indesign brings designers something completely unique. And here are just five of the reasons why you should get involved.
The ultimate premise of design is to create better environments, utilities and tools that help people thrive – whoever they are and wherever they live, work and play. The ingrained diversity of humankind means that to design for a varied, global audience successfully, inclusivity, diversity, and equality have to drive not only the design process, but also manufacturing practices, operational procedures, and leadership style of any design brand aspiring to build a better experience for all.

The use of a single colour as the pivotal and defining design strategy, the unconventional application of contemporary colour on heritage projects, and the softening of traditionally ‘hard’ building typologies were observed in the winning projects at the 39th Dulux Colour Awards.
