Saturday in Design VIP Cocktail Party

Around 400 industry guests gathered in the elegant Alto Event Space in Melbourne’s CBD above the GPO Building to wind down and swap stories on their SiD day at the official Saturday in Design VIP Cocktail Party. A perfect way to end the event, and with the announcement of the inaugural winner of The Project, by Fridcorp, there was plenty to be celebrating.

The evening was made possible with generous support of our Event Partner, Fridcorp, as well as the the fabulous Moth Design who coordinated the venue styling. Stunning lights were supplied by Volker Haug, catering thanks to Damm Fine Food, and thanks to our beverage partners Veuve Clicquot, Asahi and Krinklewood Wines.
