SID17: When There’s Nothing Left To Do But Party

That’s a Wrap! Sydney Indesign 2017 is done and dusted – but we don’t need to tell you that, you were there. Pics or it didn’t happen? Don’t worry, there are plenty

SID17: When There’s Nothing Left To Do But Party

A year between each Indesign: The Event and for many it seems to roll around effortlessly and perhaps unexpectedly. But for the exhibitors, sponsors, speakers, collaborators – and of course organisers! – it takes that year to organise those two days down to a tee.

Every year we throw a party to wrap the event, but this year, hosted by CAKE wines with Sample Brew as a beverage partner, and sponsored by FlokkDenovo Recruitment and JEB, felt extra special. To ensure a memorable evening, a photobooth – with an assortment of ridiculous props – was in hot demand all evening, thanks to Flokk. And to ease your transition to the next morning, JEB put together a special ‘hangover kit’, that was even distributed by a nurse… sort of.

It’s a wonderful weekend of excited, if chaotic, energy for all parties: two big days of networking, exploring, discovering and researching. So when it’s all done and dusted, nothing feels better – or feels better deserved – than a huge party where the drinks are free-flowing and the tunes are blasting.

Dale O’Brien on sitting easy with Herman Miller’s Verus Chair

In the first instalment of our three-part series exploring what it means to sit your best, we pose the question to Gray Puksand’s Dale O’Brien, who discusses the importance of ease and majority rule when it comes to sitting and reveals why specifying a task chair is not unlike choosing a Volvo.

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
