Workshopped by Parker Hutchinson
The Workshopped Design Expo, held annually in Sydney since 2001, is less like a competition and more like a career-builder for a select handful of emerging Australian designers. It was founded as a agency to connect young talent with manufacturers and suppliers, to help turn their ideas into commercial realities. This year's event is hosted by Strand Arcade and is expected to draw nearly 200,000 expo-goers before its close on August 21st. See some of our favorite designs from the event after the cut.
Simon Ancher.

The choice of space initially felt to me like a commentary on the hyper-produced...

Joost & Kiki: reCollections
While the Italians were rightfully celebrating their design legacy at the Triennale with an exhibition called "What is Italian Design?," I find it worth noting that once again, Dutch design was proving to be the most radical, poetic, soul-searching work at the Salone del Mobile. On the last day of the fair, I doubled back to the Zona Tortona to see “reCollections,” an exhibition...

Milan Design Week 2008: Day One
While today marks the official first day of the Salone del Mobile in Milan, the crowds were already chomping at the bit yesterday afternoon in the Zona Tortona, a satellite exhibition area that has taken on as much importance as the sprawling Fiera Milano designed by Massimiliano Fuksas. The weather on Tuesday was incredible, the sky an immaculate blue, and the press drifted in...

Marc Newson in NYC

OOH OOH
No doubt the most playful and light hearted exhibitors at ICFF were the San Francisco based, nights-and-weeekends collective LIFT. They presented OOH OOH, a larger than life upholstered gorilla that disassembles to become three comfy loungers. Lounging above are LIFT's Nick Cronan, Eric Bergman, and Pichaya Puttorngul (left to right)....
