As light defines shadow, shadow delineates light. In this session we explore the possibilities that can shine on a project bringing an interior to life in all its glory. It’s simply about the best product and placement and Kreon has the answers. Whether it is lighting for the home or office, a cafe or bar, lighting sets the scene and becomes the conduit for better design. As light is integral to living so shadow enhances light but for this to be correct it takes skill and application.
Here, Kreon launches two new products that will ‘light the way’ and all at the flick of a zoom switch.
What is it that makes a product great and a company an exemplar? These are questions that can be difficult to answer unless we are talking of King furniture and it’s singular collections. Before a finished product is placed on the floor, there is a complex process of design thinking coupled with experience and collaboration to explore.
In this session, join David Hardwick, Head of Product at King, as he guides us through the journey of design and provides a wealth of insight hitherto unknown.
This is your opportunity to become a King Design Insider and find out everything there is to know about this outstanding furniture manufacturer.
Never before have we spent so much time working out of the office. As home, civic and public spaces adapt to meet our competing work-life needs, we see a complex blending of typologies that indeed filters right back into the workplace. Where will it all land?

In this live session, moderator Alice Blackwood is joined by Olivia Lee (Olivia Lee), Nathan Karpenko (CDK Stone) and Andrea Johnston (Neolith) for an exploration of collaboration and the beauty of stone.

What does it take to design an award-winning project? Does it begin at the briefing end, or does it come down to clever awards submissions? We hear first-hand from the designers, suppliers and end users who have led projects from concept through to award-win.

After the successful introduction of the deluxe Puffalo lounging, Ross Didier has extended the collection and created a significant new modular program called the Puffalo Universal Group. Be there as the collection is officially launched!
Universal Group brings a softer and more human centric approach to non-residential interiors including a broad selection of sofa modules, desking, ottomans, tablet tables and partition screens, where the pieces can be simply joined-together then reconfigured without any specialist skills or tools. Made in Melbourne and endlessly adaptable, this versatile furniture collection offers boundless inspiration for creating interior landscapes from the largest communal environments to the smallest private pods, allowing designers to freely tailor distinctive configurations and play with fabrics, colours, materials, and timber finishes.
