Design Fringe comes to Interiors Australia
Interiors Australia, the country’s curated design fair for the world of interiors, is coming to Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 10-12 February. The event also coincides with DENFAIR – where hundreds of the most compelling local and international brands from the design scene come together for a first look at the products and ideas shaping the spaces we love. Together, the three-day Interiors Australia + DENFAIR event is the best place to discover new designers and makers, hear from design visionaries and make new connections with the who’s who of interiors and design – all under one roof.
And speaking of design whizzes… we’re delighted that five of our brilliant 2021 Design Fringe alumni – Kirby Bourke, Marta Figueiredo, Lauren Haynes, Kathleen Prentice and Jillian Stevenson – will be presenting work at the event, with thanks to our Design Fringe award partners at AUTHENTIC DESIGN ALLIANCE. These awesome designers received a ‘Design Futures’ Award, supported by AUTHENTIC DESIGN ALLIANCE, during the 2021 Festival.
