With Saturday Indesign only a week or so away (yay!), find out all the activities going down. It’ll come in handy, especially if you’re looking to plan your travel for the day.

FYI: All our exhibitor showrooms have been grouped into four distinct areas around Melbourne – City North, City South, City Central and Richmond.

Here we walk you through our City Central showrooms to give you an idea of what to expect on Saturday 22 June, A.K.A. D-Day.

City Central will have you engaged and inspired with an array of pop-up exhibitions, product launches, installations and inspiring talks.

Presenting our exhibitors *drumrolls*

Stylecraft

One of Australia’s iconoclastic design brands, Stylecraft, is all set to be transformed for Saturday Indesign. The brand’s recently-renovated Melbourne showroom will bring alive the conceptual themes of HOME, WORK and LEARN through some mind-boggling design previews.

HOME

Location: Ground and Lower Ground

HOME will be seen partnering with Meanwhile in Melbourne’s Manuela Millan. Meanwhile in Melbourne was founded by Manuela and specialises in promoting local design talent. Manuela plans to bring HOME to life with a pop-exhibition of artworks, sculptures and ceramics by a selection of Melbourne’s most talented creatives. Speaking about the event, the designer says, “You will be able to move through the space and appreciate the curated works, with StylecraftHOME serving as the perfect backdrop to see it all in context.’

Note: The exhibition will run for a week leading up to Saturday Indesign, as well as a week after.

WORK and LEARN

Location: Levels One and Two

From HOME, journey up to WORK on Level One and come face-to-face with new commercial furniture collections by local designers like Tom Skeehan, Ross Gardam and Keith Melbourne.

LEARN, on the other hand, will bring you up-close-and-personal with a new range of stylish and functional task chairs, learning chairs as well as modular pieces by international brands like Arper and Akaba.

PRIZE

Stylecraft is also giving away two Libera Armchairs, designed by Stua. These beautiful Italian chairs have been designed by Jesus and Jon Gasca features a classic silhouette expressed in the fluid way in which the legs and armrests connect. Check in on the WIN page for more details.

You could win one of two Libera Armchairs by Stua by registering, attending Saturday Indesign and dropping into the Stylecraft showroom.

For Saturday Indesign, Brickworks will come alive with a unique installation as well as an illuminating talk by industry specialists.

Here’s what to expect:

TALK
