THE FINDERS KEEPERS MELBOURNE DESIGN MARKET SS26

The Melbourne Design Market returns to the Royal Exhibition Building from 9–11 October, bringing together 200+ independent designers, makers and creative businesses for three days of mindfully made, seriously good design. For 18 years, The Finders Keepers has been where emerging talent launches, limited editions sell out and design lovers discover what’s next, first. Come for the discovery, stay for the food, drink and creative experiences, and leave with something worth keeping. WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS OCTOBER Alongside 200+ independent makers, we’re adding a few special extras to the Melbourne weekend: FOUND. ISSUE 01 Meet found., our brand-new mini magazine celebrating creative people, thoughtful ideas and the stories behind the things we keep. Purchase your copy when booking your market ticket, then collect it from the Info Desk inside the event. A FEAST AT NONNAS TABLE Join us after hours for an intimate Italian-style supper club celebrating good food, shared tables and the simple pleasure of eating together. Breaking Bread is a separately ticketed experience with limited places available. COLLAGE WORKSHOP WITH THAT PAPER JOINT Cut, paste, play and make something entirely your own with Melbourne collage studio That Paper Joint. No special skills or previous experience required, just a willingness to get creative.
