A selection of our partners joined us in Sydney’s Carriageworks, and The Moon bar in Melbourne to find out more about the new boutique specifier event – FRONT.

FRONT is targeted to the commercial and hospitality design sectors and is set to launch at Sydney’s Carriageworks this August.

For the first time in Australia, FRONT will bring together all the links in the design supply chain – architects, designers, real estate professionals and end users alike – for a far-reaching and formula-breaking event format.

In Sydney, guests got to experience the Carriageworks site where all the action will be taking place in just a few short months. The evening included both a talk from Indesign’s founder Raj Nandan, and an after-hours walk-through of the space with a sneak peek of the Sydney Biennale.

In Melbourne, an intimate gathering at Collingwood’s The Moon Bar facilitated in-depth conversations, the kind that will be a cornerstone of FRONT later in the year.
