Design: Made: Trade

by | Jul 26, 2012 | Events, Loving Life, Products

What a great time I had last weekend.

It was a busy social one that included a little meaningful retail therapy.  Imagine – heaps of fabulous meaningful products showcased under one roof – my candy store!

Design:Made:Trade showcases Australia’s leading furniture, fashion, textile, graphic and industrial design brands.

I’m so excited by what people are creating.  I met some talented and interesting designers stretching the boundaries.

One such inspiration is Samadhi Design who have launched their colourful Read.Travel.Sustain range of environmentally friendly and stylish products.

It’s hard not to say no.  They are not only cute but also practical.

 

Another popular showcase was by Lobe – unique glass wear designs by Ruth Allen.  It was hard not to walk away with several items.

Taking ‘recycled’ to a whole new level by using wine, beer and spirit bottles, Ruth magically makes classes, bottles and vases that are simply breathtaking.  Not only high quality but also creatively designed.  A fabulous gift idea.  And that’s not all Ruth makes…there is more to come.

There were many more places to share so stay tuned!  Meaningful shopping at it’s best…

At the moment, I'm busy creating courses. My day job as a learning designer keeps me in the creation zone and I really enjoy the creativity it brings. When you create a course, you have to think about the objectives as well as the best way to deliver the information....
