With just over 100 days to go until Melbourne Indesign, registrations for visitors have now opened!
April 30th, 2014
Melbourne Indesign is a trade event with a difference. Held biannually since 2004 (previously named ‘Saturday in Design’), it brings together Melbourne’s four design precincts: Collingwood, Fitzroy, Melbourne CBD and Richmond, with design trails connecting activated showrooms and pop-up spaces, showcasing the best new design from across Australia and around the world.

If you register online now, you’ll skip the registration queues and make the most of your time on event day. If you register online before Monday 18 August, and visit at least four showrooms during Melbourne Indesign (which of course you will anyway!), you go in the running to win some gorgeous, new design prizes from their Exhibitors. These include an exquisite rug from Designer Rugs, with more prizes to be announced soon.
