The dazzling theatrics of Christopher Boots

Theatrics and drama reigned supreme at the Christopher Boots showroom in Fitzroy. The brand’s star showcase, Meteor, was unveiled against a smoky and dramatic backdrop to recreate the look and feel of a meteor slashing through the sky. A genuinely dazzling experience for all onlookers, the whole Christopher Boots atelier came to life at Saturday Indesign, alongside furniture from Barbera, with guests treated to outstanding hospitality.

A packed house at Sub-Zero, with Omvivo and TSAR Carpets

Providing a mix of both excitement and engagement, collaborations are now part of the everyday design language. Case in point: The Adele Bates x Omvivo Lune collab at the Sub-Zero Wolf showroom for Saturday Indesign. The showroom was packed to the rafters, especially as the crowd got ready for the highly anticipated talk with Adele Bates, Miriam Fanning (Mim Design) and Michael Drescher (DKO), with Alice Blackwood moderating. Rounding out the space was TSAR’s rug collection, which added even more oomph, with ideas on lending warmth and a sense of luxury to residential spaces. And let’s not forget the gnocchi making!

Painting, learning and experimenting

It was a colour riot at the exquisite Design Precinct showroom during Saturday Indesign, which collaborated with Dulux and Artisan Furniture. Bringing the show to life were four artists, painting throughout the day to the delight of all those attending. A relevant and timely reminder about the intersection of art and design, not to mention all the other outstanding activations and talks taking place throughout the day.  

Cooking off in style 

The newly-opened Residentia showroom in Burnley was packed with delicious surprises for visitors and attendees, courtesy of celebrity chef Paolo Arlotta. The biggest highlight was the live cook-off session, with participants bringing their best culinary skills to the table, for a chance to win the grand prize – an InAlto Wine Fridge. The winner, Lena from The Stylesmiths, impressed the judges with her delicious pureed spinach, lemon zest and pecorino risotto. 

Let’s sip to that!

As the afternoon rolled on, guests at Arthur G, in collaboration with Mokum, were treated to some of the best classic and contemporary gin drinks, courtesy The Melbourne Gin Company. Champagne lovers, on the other hand, were seen enjoying the incredible delights of the showroom with a glass of Bollinger. It was hospitality that served as the perfect accompaniment to an incredible installation in the showroom, created in collaboration with WMK Architecture.
