Network with peers at this year's bar. The structure, named "Perpetua Bar", uses recycled materials to create an immersive space for gathering. Open on all sides and accessed from any angle, it seeks to bring people together, blurring the line between openness and enclosure.
The cafe/bar at the centre will be accessed through a forest of recycled wood posts.
Take a walk through the Future Neighbourhood. This new, immersive feature is designed to inspire, delight, and stimulate conversation about good design. Explore how interior design will continue to adapt to, and shape our lives.
Explore Studio North and meet with emerging, talented, independent product designers as they exhibit their custom and one-off creations (including furniture and lighting, glass and ceramics, textiles and decor objects) within a gallery-like setting.
Within Studio North is Prototype, an exhibition of the latest imaginative products. Become inspired by featured products that are not currently in production.
Studio North and Prototype are presented by Rize Properties.
