A designer guide to Sydney and Melbourne compiled by 6 Australian bloggers is now online, thanks to the team at Hyundai and the new Accent.
March 27th, 2012
Late last year, the team at Hyundai invited Indesignlive to take part in a day of design inspiration, where we zipped around Sydney in the new Hyundai Accent visiting some of our favourite design locations.
Cramming as much as we could into one action-packed day, we visited jewellery store Courtesy of the Artist (COTA) in the Strand Arcade, before heading to Surry Hills to check out emerging Australian industrial design at Workshopped and an exhibition at Object Gallery (as well as a stopover in the Object Gallery shop…) Finally we headed to the Space Furniture showroom in Alexandria where we explored level after level of beautiful furniture and homewares.
We weren’t the only ones taking part in the experience – Hyundai also invited 5 other blogs in the fields of food, architecture, fashion and design to highlight their favourite spots around Sydney and Melbourne. Landmark buildings, markets, stores, galleries and cafés – between the 6 of us, we came up with one hell of a list!
All of this has now been compiled into a handy online go-to guide – and we’re excited to be sharing it with you!

To coincide with the launch of the online guide, Hyundai is also giving one lucky reader the chance to win $5000 to help achieve their ultimate design dream.

To honour Chef James Won’s appointment as Gaggenau’s first Malaysian Culinary Partner, we asked the gastronomic luminaire about parallels between Gaggenau’s ethos and his own practice, his multidimensional vision of Modern Malaysian – and how his early experiences of KFC’s accessible, bold flavours influenced his concept of fine dining.

Schneider Electric’s new range are making bulky outlets a thing of the past with the new UNICA X collection.
In design, the concept of absence is particularly powerful – it’s the abundant potential of deliberate non-presence that amplifies the impact of what is. And it is this realm of sophisticated subtraction that Gaggenau’s Dishwasher 400 Series so generously – and quietly – occupies.
