The descent of the Designers!

Briana Huiskamp - Sunday, July 18, 2010

Each year in for the month of July, Melbourne becomes a flurry of activity with the State of Design festivities. A combination of trade fairs, installations, designer showcases and networking events, State of Design highlights the very best in homeware, decoration and furniture design at many many gorgeous venues across Melbourne. The last three days I have been revelling in all it has to offer!!! A huge event at 'Jeff's Shed' is the Furnitex/Decoration and Design exhibition. Here the latest releases from wholesalers and manufacturers in the Interior Design industry come to show off their wares. As always our favourites were in fine form with standout displays by GlobeWest, The Rug Collection, Equator Home and Rubystar Traders wowing all in sight. However, a new player on the soft furnishings market has taken my eye, Canvas Home had a gorgeous array of textural cushions and throws perfect for our sunnycoast environment (keep an eye out for the new range at Watermelon Red in the coming months).

However, the event that has my heart is a little side event at the grande Royal Exhibition hall in Carlton. DESIGN.MADE.TRADE is simply oozing with personality and individuality, the little sister to Furnitex showcases smaller, bespoke designers. Watermelon Red feature designers such as Cloth Fabric, Me and Amber and Design for Use are included in this event. This year was particularly gorgeous with the discovery newly released textile and wall paper designer, Patternique along with Jewellery sensation, Kristina Brenke. Here is a glimpse of the action from Melbourne.
