bring a design souvenir back from melbourne! designboom’s market-like installations are cultural group exhibitions. they are an unprecedented opportunity to meet 40 international design professionals personally. independent designers, student designers, and newcomers get to show a small selection of their wares. they meet and discuss with customers, manufacturers, distributors, press and museum curators. visitors can purchase intelligent, quirky items for a symbolic price. since 2005 designboom has curated annual mart exhibitions worldwide. this melbourne mart is the 14th edition of its kind.
