Visitors to King Furniture‘s (now known as King Living) showroom at Brisbane Indesign will have the chance to meet two leading forces in contemporary Australian design.
Joining the much-loved Australian brand on Friday 25 May and Saturday 26 May will be industrial designer Charles Wilson and interior designer David Hicks.
Hicks, who has designed a number of King Furniture showrooms Australia-wide, will launch a brand-new installation at the Fortitude Valley space between 12 and 2pm on Friday 25 May.
