ONE-OFF. UNIQUE. COMMISSIONED – Exploring our thirst for collectible works of design.
Tickets – Unique. One Off. at Christopher Boots Atelier // $20.00 + bf
As we forge our own Australian design identity, a by-product of the current boom in luxury residential, hospitality and development projects has created new opportunities for artists and designers as the thirst for unique, commissioned, and one-off works is defining public and private spaces.
A moderated panel discussion draws from architecture, interior design, industrial design, sculpture, and gallery level commissions to explore how one-off works now contribute to our cultural design DNA.
Join us to discover how ultra-custom design objects, ambitious furniture pieces and large-scale sculptural works brand architectural and interior projects, creating a new market for commissioned and collaborative works made by Australian creatives.
Discover Australia’s thirst for collectible design.

HELP STOP DESIGN THEFT!
AUTHENTIC DESIGN ALLIANCE promotes awareness about the importance of investing in original design to support the creators and makers, and their manufacturers and distributors.
Australian designers and businesses are hit hard by knock-offs of original furniture, lighting, and object designs. The ADA is a voice for those who believe that ‘replica’ and ‘knock-off’ designs should become illegal, in line with new laws in the UK and Europe.
As an education platform, the ADA program strives to shift cultural change in buyer behaviour to support original design, by spotlighting how products are made, and why we must buy well, buy once.
