The Design Files Open House.

If you were lucky enough to visit The Design Files Open House over the weekend you were in for an inspiring visual treat! This was the fourth installment for Lucy Feagin - the editor and founder of one of our, and Australia's favourite blogs The Design Files.

This year Lucy converted an airy, multi-level industrial warehouse in Smith Street Collingwood, into a space that showcased the wares of more than 70 artists, designers and creative brands.

As in past years, everything was for sale. With local artists such as Moya Delaney, who stiches together old parachutes and flags to produce large-scale light fittings, to homewares by Marble Basics and my personal favourite - gorgeous kids and adults bed line and homewares by Hunting for George.

This year also marked a new venture for Lucy, she collaborated with potter Robert Gordon Australia to produce a range of exclusive (and stunning) tableware and vases, her first product collaboration.

We hope you enjoyed it!

Christmas card inspiration.

Can you believe it's that time of the year again! 

Inspired by some beautifully designed Christmas cards, that are both stylish but with a little humour, we are getting into the spirit.

Two companies that we are loving at the moment are - The Adventures Of and the Hungry Workshop.

The Adventures Of is a husband and wife design and stationery studio who 'make greeting cards to put smiles on faces and art prints in invite happiness into a room'.

The Hungry Workshop is a favourite of ours (we've featured them here before and you can buy from here), their whimsical letterpress cards are sure to bring a smile to your face. 

And for something new for your Christmas tree, we can't go past these laser cut thick black card graphic decorations from The Minimalist

Stay tuned for a sneak peak at our own Adcore Christmas card coming soon!
