DKO’s Post Office Party

DKO threw an alleyway party to celebrate their new home in Redfern – complete with burgers and a live rock band.

November 20th, 2016

DKO recently took occupation of the iconic Redfern Post Office in Sydney, a landmark in the Redfern community. And, to celebrate, DKO threw an ‘office warming’ that went OFF!

Team Indesign was there (head-banging along) as garage rock band Los Tones played to a packed-out alleyway of DKO’s supporters, collaborators, clients and friends. All were treated to every Sydney-sider’s favourite burgers by Mary’s. Year to year DKO has gone from success to success. Now with offices all over the Asia Pacific region, DKO have set up homes in Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland, Christchurch, and Ho Chi Minh City.

But, after a year full of incredible projects this party was also an opportunity for Team DKO to kick back and enjoy themselves ahead of what will surely be another huge year for the firm in 2017.
