Always opting for boundary-pushing design, Fringe Furniture is much-loved design exhibition as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival, and 2018 was no less disappointing. The showcase this year featured a record breaking 150+ pieces and thanks to a new initiative the amount of female-identifying designers represented increased by 38 per cent.

With plenty of unusual pieces, along with more bespoke and commercially-viable products, the exhibition offers inspiration across the board.

Out of the 150 products, 10 were selected for a range of prizes.
