The line-up of showrooms and creative partners for Designday 2017 were revealed at an exclusive champagne breakfast held at L’affare Melrose, Newmarket on 1 March. 

More than 100 design industry professionals gathered for the grand reveal, hosted by Urbis magazine editor Federico Monsalve. For this year’s event, a range of furniture and design showrooms will be transformed, thanks to the ideas of creatives from a broad range of disciplines including architecture, multimedia, interiors, fashion and art.

This year’s Designday Pro will also feature an exciting live stream of stellar international architects speaking at the ArchitectureAP Symposium in Brisbane. The talks will be streamed live at three different Designday locations on Friday 24 March.
