Concrete Playground

Have you ever wondered how some lucky punters nab a designer’s wares before they become the next big thing? They could have supernatural powers enabling them to spot vanguards-in-the-making or they may just make the most of opportunities to buy things directly from new designers.

The Young Blood Designers Market falls into the latter category, allowing you to meet and purchase items directly from fresh, up-and-coming creative talent.

The curated market will be held in the Powerhouse Museum’s main gallery on August 14 and 15. Items for sale include fashion, furniture, jewellery, graphics, landscape, lighting design and more.

Also on offer will be limited edition pieces created for Eat Green Design, the Museum’s temporary sustainable restaurant.
