The Design Co-Op

23 - 25 March, 2018

Melbourne, VIC, Australia

One Fine Print and Anaca Studio present The Design Co-Op; a bespoke weekend to connect, collaborate and learn. Anne-Claire Petre from Anaca Studio and Elizabeth Bull from One Fine Print have united over 13 local Melbourne design businesses to create this exciting bespoke design event. Spread over three days The Design Co-Op will celebrate the blending of unique Australian design brands and empower attendees to realise that any space can be transformed into a meaningful ‘home’.

This event aims to strengthen the existing design community, encourage the growth of new networks, promote boutique local design brands, and offer interactive learning opportunities for both industry professionals and the design-savvy public. Three guest interior designers, each with their unique sense of style – Fiona Parry-Jones from Von Haus, Lauren Li from Sisalla, and Manuela Millan from Meanwhile in Melbourne – will blend products from The Design Co-Op suppliers to produce a series of living spaces that imaginatively evoke the feeling of ‘home’.

The showcase will run the duration of the entire weekend and be open to both trade and the public. The Design Co-Op will consist of a launch party, a showcase and multiple learning sessions – and will run in inner-Melbourne for one weekend only, from March 23 – 25, 2018.
