Melbourne Design Week is Australia’s largest and leading annual design festival.
This year's eighth edition presents across 11 days with 300+ innovative exhibitions, displays, symposiums and talks throughout metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria. Highlights include a keynote from Nigerian architect Tosin Oshinowo, a symposium exploring speculative riverside designs for the Birrarung, the tenth year of Melbourne Art Book Fair, plus presentations of work by Visnja Brdar, Jessie French, Sruli Recht and Ross Gardam.
Exploring the theme of ‘Design the world you want’, the program brings into focus the use of energy, ethics and ecology to encourage positive change, reimagine existing systems and offer innovative design solutions to complex global challenges.
