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!

Four&Sons Magazine.

As avid dog lovers here at Adcore, we are excited to see the end result of a stunning magazine come together from a friend of ours - Marta Roca from Four&Sons.

I've been a big fan and a keen supporter of this Melbourne online publication (www.fourandsons.com) since they launched in 2011. This beautifully presented website describes itself as a space where 'dogs and culture collide' and has been an ongoing labour of love for Marta. Four&Sons shares stories and interviews with creative dog lovers the world over, for whom creativity and canine companionship is inseparable.

As told by Marta "Four&Sons came about as a way to cover art, design, fashion, music and lifestyle, Four&Sons brings together an eclectic mix of inspiring 'dog-centric' content to dog-lovers passionate about culture and creativity. Curated with a strong editorial approach and written by people who find dogs a constant source of inspiration."

The second issue of the magazine is just as stunning as the first, it's such a well executed, clever, engaging and thoughtfully produced publication. Whats not to love about this! 

You can pre-order the magazine on the Four&Sons website www.fourandsons.com for $20 (plus postage and handling).
