Design Demystified Window Installation at Kids in Berlin

"DESIGN DEMYSTIFIED: Inspiration Uncovered" is a window installation which can now be seen at Kids in Berlin (North Melbourne). The installation is part of PROJEKTA 57, a "mini festival" of PopUps involving five independent Melbourne galleries/shops in Victoria St. PROJEKTA 57 is a part of the Melbourne International Design Festival, and the other PopUps are at Bamakko, Famous When Dead, Lumbi, and designloop.

For DESIGN DEMYSTIFIED: Inspiration Uncovered, four Melbourne designers have created elements of their workspace within the Kids in Berlin window, accompanied by Matt Solomon's photographic exhibition of the designers' studios. The installation features some of our indie faves: Angela White (Sew Your Own), Liz Jones (Betty Jo Designs), Anna Blandford (Anna Laura), and Madeleine Beatty (Madz has Runaway). Peep into the KIB window to catch a snapshot of each designer's studio - their tools of trade, favourite materials and the miscellaneous articles they surround themselves with to inspire and influence their creative journey.

You can even meet Liz, Anna, Madeleine & Angela in person at in store "Meet the Designer" demos! Details are as follows:

  • Friday 18th July, 3-6pm: Madz has Runaway
  • Saturday 19th July, 2-5pm: Betty Jo Designs
  • Friday 25th July, 3-6pm: Anna Laura
  • Saturday 26th July, 2-5pm: Sew Your Own

I'm a big fan of all four labels, & I think it would be a wonderful opportunity to gain a little more insight into the efforts, techniques, individuality & inspiration behind these indie businesses... So if you're in Melbourne, make sure to get along to Kids in Berlin sometime between now and Sunday 27th July! As many of you probably know, KIB is a fantastic boutique, and is well-known for stocking indie labels. Owner Jenny Sabine says "that the DESIGN DEMYSTIFIED: Inspiration Uncovered window intallation fits beautifully with the aim of Kids in Berlin to promote and support emerging independent designers". Kids in Berlin is located at 472 Victoria St, North Melbourne, 3051.

Special thanks to Liz Jones for sending through the window pics!
