Victoria’s premier design festival, the State of Design, is almost upon us again this year from 20-31 July 2011.
One of our favourite events is Design: Made: Trade, a trade and public event featuring some of Australia’s leading furniture, fashion and industrial design brands. At last year’s exhibition we discovered Trent Jansen and his cool Cycle Signs made out of discarded reflective road signs, so we’re excited to see who we’ll meet and what we’ll find at this year’s event.
Here’s a link to an interview with Trent (and some other exhibitors) at last year’s show discussing his work and his design approach.

Daniel Ballou is an industrial designer from Long Beach California and he has designed a product called, rightly, Very Nice Bike Rack. It comes in a wall mounted and floor stand version and we love them both!

Dutch beer brand Grolsch has partnered with Dutch bicycle designer VANMOOF to produce a unique
commuter bike to help celebrate the arrival of Grolsch Draught in Australia.
The customised 3 gear VANMOOF x Grolsch bicycle comes complete with green mudguards and a specially
designed case that can carry 24 beers. The reinforced tray is also designed to carry the weight of a person (making dinking just that bit easier) and solar panels have been integrated into the frame design to power the lights at night.
Perfect for your Friday after-work drinks delivery…
