Adelaide Design Week in the East End
Adelaide Design Week brings big ideas to familiar places across the East End from 14–18 October.
This year’s theme, every*one, celebrates design as a human practice, shaped by the people who think, make, question and take part.
From designer shopfront makeovers to an immersive exhibition of art and scent, lighting shaped by French workwear and a day bed made from recycled denim, discover four ways to explore design in the neighbourhood below.
