As dusk falls on Friday 10th of November, Canberra will come alive for the opening weekend of the 2017 DESIGN Canberra Festival.

How do you fit a fully functioning retail outlet into a space 4m wide where no alteration to the existing building is possible & every surface must be left?

Designed with trusted collaborator Snøhetta, Aesop’s Pitt street store in Sydney celebrates the company’s passage to fruition over the last three decades.

Tapping into the energy & vitality of the community and bringing it to new audiences, DESIGN Canberra celebrates & promotes Canberra as a global city of design.

A place that has long been stereotyped as boring & beige has elevated and persisted to become a city that fosters design, all design.

2017 has proved to be an amazing year of growth, inspiration, excellence and engagement for DESIGN Canberra.
