Melbourne Indesign is just days away, and we had the opportunity to speak with event ambassador Emma Telfer with what she thinks are the big questions for the design community, and what events she’s looking forward to most.
Along with designers Christopher Boots and Volker Haug, the LiveLife series is set to explore one of the last frontiers of design for homeowners – lighting.
Identity is always tied up with ego, and this is especially true of architecture. Are we proud or embarrassed of our residential architecture?
Habitus’ conversation series at Melbourne Indesign in August explores the next frontiers in living: Protect, Disrupt and Light.
Collaborations are exciting and inspiring. Seeing two (or more) minds band together to create something new and unexpected makes us look on in awe, sparking the creative parts in all of us. This year, at Melbourne Indesign The Project was embraced with wholehearted enthusiasm. Entering a showroom meant being overwhelmed with surprise, excitement, joy and the urge to Instagram – right away! And the common element among all involved was collaborative engagement.
Melbourne Indesign was not only for professional designers, but for those of us who simply have a passion for design. With dozens of residential brands exhibiting and launching new product there was much to lust over. Here is a small selection of our favourite pieces from the event – including local and international design, established and emerging designers.
Along with our talented panellists – Quino Holland (Fieldwork), Jeremy McLeod (Breathe) and Prani Hodges (Six Degrees), we discussed the good, the bad and the beautiful when it comes to multi-residential housing. It was great to hear the respect shared among the practices and the fact that their projects are together driving a move towards a better kind of communal living.
A warm thank you again to our panellists, John Wardle Architects for hosting us, and everyone who came along. Hope you enjoyed it.
Originally from Singapore, today See Yen Foo lives in Melbourne and owns Apt Living and Apato. In fact, the launch of Apato coincides with Melbourne Indesign this weekend. Before it all takes place though, we had a chat with this furniture guru and found out he has a love for cold beer, work, and great taste for architecture.
Yarn Bombing, or Guerilla Knitting, Graffitti Knitting – there is not only one name – has become a well recognised form of street art over the past few years. Rather than chalk or paint, groups take to the streets with colourful yarn. We talk to a Melbourne knitting collective to find out more.
Taking their long-standing partnership to the next level, Habitus and John Warldle Architects collaborate to host the LiveLife conversation at JWA studio in Rokeby St in Collingwood for Melbourne Indesign.
Seeing new designers enter the industry is exciting, especially when they’re doing something new and bringing a fresh perspective to the scene.
We announce our topic for the Habitus LiveLife conversation at Melbourne Indesign.
