Each month, a different designer will be challenged, under a brief, to highlight the essence of contemporary Spanish design in Australia by creating an installation in the window of AJAR showroom featuring a curated selection of pieces from the AJAR collection. The firms participating in the event are representative of the best Australian design and architecture studios – SJB, Geyer, Baldasso Cortese, Atticus & Milo, Robert Mills Architects, Flack, Alexa Nice Design, Hot Black, and Bruce Henderson Architects and together will bring a wealth of expertise and design skills to each installation.

The installation will be housed at AJAR’s Johnston Street showroom in Collingwood – an area that is rapidly establishing itself as one of Melbourne’s fastest growing and most progressive design destinations. The installations will provide a focus for the local streetscape, enlivening and enriching the street experience. The local community benefit from a unique perspective on contemporary design as viewed by local creatives, as well as being able to participate in workshops, seminars and prize draws.
