A Makers Take
The first ever Makers Take exhibition is happening next week. An event focused on showcasing the furniture and product designs created by 7 local graduate designers.
All of the designers have been working in the industry for several years whilst trying to create their own unique products which enforce the ethos of Australian made each through their own unique style.
The event was created through the collaboration of the designers themselves to help promote and grow the design and production industry in South East Queensland.
Many of the items will be available for sale on the night and pick up can be arranged with the designer. Come along and enjoy a night of good design, good people, good music and to support what some of the Gold Coast creatives have to offer.
Also featuring some live music from VEOPLE and some ice-cold brews thanks to Balter Brewing Company.
Meet the designers showcasing their work:

"Drawing upon raw industrial elements and delicate aesthetics, my designs are created using both traditional craftsmanship and digital manufacturing. Always striving to be dynamic and ever evolving. I place emphasis on collaboration amongst people in all design disciplines, allowing me to broaden the focus of my designs, incorporate current trends, and cultivate growth and continual development."
