NEW EVENT // The Memphis movement - fun and fab or over the top? You decide, at our autumn sundowner at the unique Offmarket Gallery in Claremont. The highly influential Memphis design group formed in Milan in 1981 and if you were around at the time, you’ll know the aesthetic. “Radical, funny, and outrageous” was the central idea, rejecting the stripped-back functionality of Modernism in favour of an eclectic mash-up of styles, decoration and colour. Join us to view a rare collection of original and re-issued Memphis furniture, fabric, objects and artworks by movement founders and luminaries including Ettore Sottsass, Nathalie du Pasquier, Michele de Lucchi and George Sowden. Special guest Dr Annette Condello from the School of Design and the Built Environment at Curtin University will give a short talk putting the work into context and you’ll enjoy drinks and nibbles with other design lovers. The exhibition Back to Memphis - A Design Revolution is presented by Offmarket Gallery in collaboration with Mobilia. When: Saturday 20 April 2024 Time: 4pm – 6pm Where: Offmarket Gallery, 29 Airlie Street, Claremont Tickets: $40, including the talk, drinks and nibbles - link below. Thanks to our drinks sponsor for the event Old Bridge Cellars, and our media sponsor Detail Marketing Communications. DesignFreo is sponsored by Bauwerkcolour. #perthevents #designmatters #memphisdesign #designfreo

About us
DesignFreo is a platform celebrating design and designers in the port city of Fremantle / Walyalup and beyond. We’re a not-for-profit founded by a group of local designers, makers and doers. We love design, we love our town and we care about its future. We’re interested in how design can bring joy to the everyday and also in how design can tackle the bigger issues facing our communities and planet. Through events, workshops and exhibitions, DesignFreo creates opportunities to see what designers do, hear their ideas and join a broader conversation about why it’s important. Good design. Bad design. Who cares and why does it matter? Let’s talk.

WELCOME, BAUWERK // We're thrilled to announce that Bauwerk is DesignFreo's newest sponsor! Bauwerk is a global success story - a limewash paint company born in South Fremantle in 2003 and now on seen on beautiful walls around the world. Bauwerk paint is a natural product made with clay, minerals and natural pigments. It's free from biocides, formaldehyde and preservatives; has natural antibacterial qualities; emits zero VOCs; and can even be used in bathrooms. And it's available in hundreds of gorgeous colours!
