Helmed by Creative Director Andie Meredith, the exhibition was inspired in part by the culture of Florence, Italy.
“During my visit to Firenze I experienced a vast array of local artisans who offered unique, thoughtful designs. The studios that I visited were tucked away, down little cobblestone laneways – disparate from the global ‘luxury’ brand names,” says Meredith.
“Since living in Melbourne I’ve wanted to recreate my ‘Firenze experience’ by way of collaborating with a handful of local artisans whose work I particularly connect with. Each of these designers and artisans push boundaries within their design discipline, create the unexpected and deliver to a niche market.”
Collaborazione will feature local artisans from across the country including Andrew James, Anne Leon, Betty Bossy Boots and more – with works spanning creamics, textiles, shoe design, accessories, illustration, music and jewelery.
Designer’s products will be available to purchase on site at the exhibition venue, as well as directly
through Andie Meredith.
