The Design Files Open House
A Fitzroy home opens it doors as a stylish pop-up shop
Have you ever flicked through a magazine or looked at blog and wanted to step inside the images and shop the look all in the very same place?
Well now, thanks to The Design Files blog and The Project Agency, you can.
Starting this Thursday and running for four days only, a warehouse-converted Fitzroy home will open its doors to showcase and retail more than 70 hand-picked designer brands spanning across fashion, food and interiors.
Inside this stylised and edited household, you’ll find everything celebrating the best of Melbourne’s design scene. From bed linen to books, artwork, furniture, kitchenware and light fittings, each and every item within the space can be bought on the spot.
Be the first to preview stylish new outdoor furniture range by Jardan that’s as far from Bunnings or Ikea as you can get. Think coloured aluminium tables sporting coran and spotted gum tops.
Dutch-born florist, artist, builder and environmentalist Joost Bakker – who created the pop-up restaurant Greenhouse – will unveil his new homeware collection and flower stall. Expect to be inspired by the plant wall adorning the courtyard walls and pick up Joost’s floristry creations to take home.
Every space is oozing with style, even the garage, where you’ll get a sneak peek at the latest Mini coupe, to be launched in Australia in February.
Looking for inspiration in the kitchen? Then watch photographer and Whole Larder Love food blogger Rohan Anderson as he whips up a tasty menu for you and the other house guests.
If you need a break from all the desinger stimuli and shopping, take a break and head up to the open-air rooftop café, where you can grab a Coffee Supreme latte or sit back on the deck and enjoy a feed in the sunshine. Ahhh, holiday shopping should always feel so pleasurable.
Where: 40 Little Napier St, Fitzroy
