Melbourne's festival of creativity and connection is back this October.

The Melbourne Design Market returns 9-11 October to the Royal Exhibition Building with 230+ independent designers and makers for a three-day celebration of mindfully made, good design.

For 18 years, this is where emerging talent has launched, limited editions sell out and design lovers secure what’s next, first. Unique wares, small runs and exclusives you won’t find anywhere else.

Come for the discovery, stay for the tasty local food & drink, and leave with something no one else has.
