Melbourne design market - applications now open!


Be a part of the renowned Melbourne International Design Festival, 17-27 July – now in its fourth year!

Melbourne Design Market - Sunday, 20 July 2008 Stallholder Applications Now Open

The Melbourne Design Market is back again. As one of the most highly-anticipated events on the Melbourne International Design Festival program, the Market is a fun-filled, family-friendly, design-drenched day.

Importantly, the Melbourne Design Market has helped position and profile a range of design businesses, supporting their marketing and sales strategies in a highly effective and accessible environment.

It is a trade event like no other, and consistently attracts large crowds every time it is held.

A stringent selection process applies to all stallholder applications, ensuring that the highest quality, commercial products are admitted. It is this high standard which distinguishes the Melbourne Design Market from all other events.

The exposure was incredibly valuable to me as an emerging designer. Everything went really smoothly on the day. The only negative experience I had was being exhausted from talking to so many people!
– Piers Morgan, previous Melbourne Design Market stallholder
