Since making its debut in 2014, Design Show Australia has been the blueprint for brilliance in the world of interiors, architecture, and fit-out solutions. Alternating each year between Sydney and Melbourne, it is a must-attend event where premium brands, talented manufacturers, and visionary suppliers connect with design disruptors and decision-makers. Covering every corner of the design world, including commercial, workplace, retail, hospitality, and residential, this show is a space where ideas are sketched, partnerships are drafted, and the future of design is built.
But this isn’t just another exhibition; it’s a masterpiece in the making.
