Admittedly Iโm a bit Christmas crazy, but itโs events like these that get me particularly excited!
Held from Friday 5 to Sunday 7 December, The Big Design Market in Melbourneโs iconic Royal Exhibition Building will feature over 200 stallholders selling originally designed and ethically produced homewares, textiles, fashion, stationery, lifestyle and toys.
Independent designers include: Beci Orpin with her new homewares range Arro Home, Fold Theoryโs cardboard furniture, Little Green Roomโs plywood PlayCubes, The Mod Collectiveโs porcelain-ware, Volker Haugโs beautiful lighting fixtures and Papillionaire Bicyclesโ retro-style bikes.
A relaxed shopping environment, The Big Design Market will feature a gourmet food line-up, lounge areas for recharging between shopping stints and a kidsโ play area with free activities. There will also be free creative workshops, hosted by stallholders, so visitors can get creative with designers and make something special to take home too!
Foundedย by artist and designer Simon Obarzanek, The Big Design Market is a unique annual pop-up retail event that allows visitors to pick up various coveted designer pieces in the one place, just in time for Christmas. And whatโs even better? Admittance is only $2 for adults and for kids 12 and under, it’sย free!
