LCI Melbourne, together with LOCAL DESIGN, is currently hosting the third edition of LOCAL MILAN.
The Breakfast in Milan event brought together exhibition curator Emma Elizabeth and leading Australian designers - some of whom feature in the exhibition - to discuss the future of Australian design.
This official DIA Accredited Designer™ presentation saw a panel of six speakers from various disciplines discuss their impact on global design markets, and offer advice to aspiring young designers. These included Dale Hardiman of Dowel Jones, Carole Whiting of Carole Whiting Interiors & Design, Anna Varendorff, and two lead designers from Volker Haug Studio.
Situated in the beautiful gallery space, industry guests, LCI Melbourne students and faculty had the opportunity to network over a delicious breakfast from local Italian restaurant and deli Project 49.
Proceeds from Breakfast in Milan will go towards the LCI Education Foundation.
LOCAL MILAN NO. 3 has just returned to Australia from its unveiling at this year's Milan Design Week. It is on show from Monday - Friday in the LCI Melbourne gallery in Collingwood. For more details, see here.
In the spirit of reconciliation LCI Melbourne acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community.
LCI Melbourne pay respects to the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people and acknowledges them as the Traditional Owners of the land on which our campus is situated. We recognise this as a place of special significance for the Indigenous community.
We pay our respect to Elders past and present and future. Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded.
