Saturday InDesign

July 22, 2019

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending Saturday InDesign and spent an afternoon with an amazing friend in some of Melbourne’s most incredible design stores.

Saturday Indesign is a series of collaborative installations dotted around Melbourne. There were talks, exhibits, interactive installations and workshops and they were all set in the best design showrooms around the city. 

My standout favourite was Gaggenau in South Melbourne where we not only took part in a great foodie workshop (read that as one amazingly jaw-dropping grazing table with a fabulous glass of bubbly or two) but we also got the chance to design our own Dekton work surface by Cosentino. Imagine having a custom work surface in your home!

Gaggenau is renowned for its luxury, simplicity and authenticity in design using stainless steel and glass within their kitchen range. The company is over 300 years old but consciously thinks long term. Their timeless pieces ensure you can create a dream kitchen that will last not only through differing interior trends but because of its performance too. 

A Gaggenau kitchen is one where you would have an emotional response to. Not only are they breathtakingly beautiful, everything is so well designed and intuitively placed that you know when you  reach for a knife to cut bread, cheese from the fridge, or a pot to cook dinner, the layout, along with ease of drawer and cupboard openings all works so effortlessly. Appliances are hidden away but easy to access. They really are kitchens full of domestic bliss. 

The South Melbourne showroom is a dream. A mix of black steel doors and windows, exposed red brick and reflective black surfaces. It was moody and inspiring. I could quite happily move in at any stage. I definitely recommend a visit.

Gaggenau also produce a magazine celebrating design, craftsmanship, people and places. You can get some more Gaggenau inspiration from Pinterest here.
