Tag Archives: designer market

It was a design market paradise at Federation Square yesterday. The Melbourne Design Market was in the carpark, and only a few metres away the MARKit@FedSquare was on in the Atrium outside the Ian Potter Gallery (excuse me whilst I hyperventilate).  Each of the markets showcased a vast range of designers creations and it was inspiring to see the number of Australian independent designers who were considering sustainability in their designs.……

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Melbourne Design Market attracted a large crowd in the carpark hunting down a designer bargain.

Lox + Savvy had an eye catching display  …. And were very understanding when I knocked part of it over ………(arghhhh)

An original and unique range were exhibited by LUcE – products are handmade from a combination of vintage, recycled, re-purposed and new materials.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mattt bags and satchels provided a rainbow of colour hanging off their  wire wall, adorned with designs from a variety of Australian organic textile designers.

The stalls featured above are only the tip of the designer iceberg of what was on offer – If you are disappointed you missed out, don’t despair! The MARKit@FedSquare will be on AGAIN on November 28, 2010 – Just in time to pick up some very special Christmas presents straight from the hands of their designers!
