Team #MID16 brought back the industry’s most iconic bash – the Melbourne Indesign After Party.

Designed by SJB, Harry the Hirer’s recently unveiled showroom hosted this very important party where we rubbed shoulders with A&D’s most iconic players. A secret whisky room, jazz band, some pretty intense blue lighting, a disco dance floor, and champagne for days. Thank you to everyone who joined us, partied hard and made some memories.

Until next year!

Our after party was proudly presented by Sunbrella, Sharp & Carter, Harry The Hirer, Starward Whisky, Eness, Flowers Vasette, and Cosentino.

In a different light: The Geelong College’s Belerren Centre designed by Wardle

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.

Elton Group’s $5,000 Think Good Micro-Grant is calling for designers and makers with a bold idea
