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.
