Part of the St Margaret’s Design and Architecture Festival in September, Conversations of Things New was an exhibition of Australian designers who manufacture with Italian design companies. Getting a break with one of the Italian businesses can help establish a young designer’s career.
The exhibition, curated by Heidi Dokulil and organised with the help of the Italian Trade Commission and Object Gallery.  The second exhibition was held in Sydney.
