Members Exclusive Melbourne Design Week Walking Tour

100 CHAIRS features the work of over 100 Australian creatives, studios, artists, architects and practices exploring the chair as a medium. The exhibition provides a platform for creatives at all career levels to present work collectively. All chairs have been designed and made in Australia.

PAGEANT: A Retrospective (2010-2025) is a reflective exhibition featuring installation-based fashion, design, visual art and film, exploring future fashion directions.

Cyclic is a group exhibition proposed by a collective of craft practitioners from Craft Victoria’s Fresh! Fellowship 2025 cohort. Working across woodworking, metalsmithing, textiles, bio-materials, lighting and ceramics, each maker contributes a distinct yet interconnected voice within the evolving language of contemporary craft.

Curated by Emma Elizabeth and presented by Local Design, LOST HiDE explores design as a cultural force shaping how we live and imagine the future. Drawing on international experience, including past Milan curations, the exhibition champions Australian designers through a conceptually driven and material-led practice.

The Latin word arum serves as the inspiration for Tom Fereday’s exhibition title, referencing the origins and transformation of raw material through the process of sand casting.

Fascinated by the tension between natural materials and contemporary design and manufacture, Tom Fereday develops unique designs through an inquiry into the role of objects today. Built on the principle of honest design, his work celebrates the materials and manufacturing processes behind furniture and objects, guiding thoughtful design outcomes that explore the notion of quiet innovation.
