DQ brings you all the latest news on the People, Products and Parties in the Australasian design community.
The Spring issue features the full Saturday in Design (SiD) wrap-up, contained within a special, cut-out, 16-page SiD section.
Heading up DQ People is UK-based designer Benjamin Hubert, who travelled to Australia for Saturday in Design with Great Dane.
Benjamin chats with DQ on topics of international success, design ethics and keeping reality in check.
Also featured this issue is Parisian designer Olivia Putman, daughter to the famed Andrée Putman, speaking about her new role as art director for her mother’s acclaimed design firm, Studio Putman.

Last (but never least!) is DQ’s Parties section with memorable events from the likes of Wilkhahn, Poliform, Australian International Design Awards and more.
