DESIGN Canberra is giving design-lovers the chance to own their own piece of contemporary design at this year’s DESIGN Canberra auction, featuring a new line up of emerging and leading Canberra designers.

The design auction party will celebrate the best of contemporary design and will launch the festival with an opening-weekend party. Limited-edition and one-off pieces by established and emerging Canberra designers, artists and makers will be on display and highlighted by an experimental lighting design installation by Matt Adey of Beizj Studio.

The 2019 DESIGN Canberra opening party will celebrate the Bauhaus anniversary which redefined what design could do for society and reflected the utopian ideas of its time. The 2019 edition is the third auction party presented by DESIGN Canberra.

Anna Gianakis, Daniel Leone, DesignByThem, Estelle Briedis, Endure Designs, Gilbert Riedelbauch, Girl Nomad Ceramics, Kenny Son, Kristina Neumann, Krystal Hurst, Mel Douglas, Phoebe Porter, René Linssen, Rolf Barfoed, Dan Lorrimer, Tom Skeehan and Wayne Simon.
