Design Show Australia

Design Show Australia brings premium brands, manufacturers, and suppliers together with designers, specifiers and buyers working across commercial, workplace, retail, hospitality, multi-res and residential interiors.

Union is particularly excited about the {Whose Bright Idea?} collaborative installation by ARUP, Woods Bagot, Euroluce, europanel, and Buildcorp. The installation asks visitors to consider the lifespan of products and material beyond the immediate project. he installation’s elements have been selected for their simplicity of assembly, reusability, and design excellence, combining for the purpose of the build. Following the show, they will be dismounted and redistributed without a trace according to a circular lifespan model. Every element of the installation will be used again in another application. 

Key products featured in the installation include FLOS’s iconic Parentesi 50 lamp from Euroluce, and bespoke architectural acoustic cladding from Europanel that is 100% Australian made and manufactured with sustainable materials. These products combine to create a dynamic interaction between design aesthetics, functionality, and sustainable solutions.

Reminding visitors that good design is timeless, {Whose Bright Idea?} communicates the notion that sustainability can, and must, be a central element in the design journey of a product or build rather an add-on value. ARUP, Woods Bagot, Euroluce, europanel, and Buildcorp embrace materials and methods for the positive impact they have on the environment, expressing a strong commitment to a more conscious collective future. A bright idea in every sense. 

Design Show Australia is the largest event of its kind in the past eight years and is an excellent survey of preeminent local and international designers and suppliers.
