Are we seeking out bespoke products and processes to push back against a glut of “cookie-cutter” designs?
This June, The Australian Design Centre (ADC) will be hosting a panel discussion in Sydney to examine the return to thoughtful design and craftsmanship, and the importance of producing meaningful pieces in a world obsessed with consuming more “stuff”.
Author and design commentator Karen McCartney will moderate the panel, which will include Smart Design Studio founder William Smart, ADC director Lisa Cahill and Spence and Lyda founder Fiona Lyda. This event is recommended for design enthusiasts interested in interiors, furniture design, homewares and lighting.
The Australian Design Centre is one of Australia’s leading arts organisations dedicated exclusively to design and contemporary craft. Supporting the power of design in innovations and craft through exhibitions, events, education programs and digital platforms.
Hand-Made – Back to Where We Started? will be held on Thursday June 1, 6pm–8pm at The Australian Design Centre, 101–115 William Street, Darlinghurst. Tickets are $25.
