pyd Design Markets start to shape up!

This years design markets are just around the corner and everyone here at Publissimo is very excited! The markets themselves will really benefit designers and design lovers alike, so spread the word!

The markets will provide a rare opportunity for design lovers to come and see some truly incredible projects and designers all under one roof! It will also give the designers themselves a chance to showcase (and sell) their work to audiences they might not normally get the chance to be exposed to.

With so many amazing designers, we could hardly tell you about all of them, or even pick our favourites! But here is a little sneak preview of some of this years star designers!

TRENT JANSEN‘s playful and quirky designs have had him hailed as the next superstar of Australian design. His now famous Pregnant Chair was showcased at last year’s Milan Design Festival and his Kissing Pendants were also awarded at Melbourne’s Bombay Sapphire Design Discovery Awards in 2008.
