Australia’s leading exhibition for emerging designers
The free exhibition launches on 8 August at Sydney’s iconic Chifley Plaza and runs 9-19 August 2006. WORKSHOPPED differs from any other design showcase held in Australia because its main purpose is to foster promising talent and turn their ideas into a commercial reality; ready for the world stage. The exhibition will feature a range of design principles and materials including furniture, lighting, screens, installations and graphic design.

WORKSHOPPED debuted in 2001 as a platform for up-and-coming Australian designers to showcase their talent. The exhibition immediately struck a nerve with Sydney’s design community and quickly moved from a small gallery to the large shopping precinct of the Strand Arcade. Now truly national, design entrants are taken from across Australia. Reflecting the exhibition’s evolution, this year the move to the business end of town in the Chifley Tower will provide the exhibition with the business backdrop that is indicative of where this exhibition aims to take its designers.
