Victoria's Design Festival

Decoration + Design was an Event Partner of Victoria's Design Festival - State of Design.

The State of Design Festival an initiative of the Victorian State Government, showcased Victorian and Australian design in a 10 day program of over 125 interactive events, exhibitions, workshops, and talks held from 14-25 July 2010.

The Festival offered both local and international conversations on design, with a focus on Victorian design. The Festival demonstrated and broadly communicated how the Victorian and Australian design profession can improve living conditions, create sustainable development opportunities, and generate new and innovative products and services; in turn, providing economic benefit for the state of Victoria.

The Festival also responded to the Victorian Government's innovation statement (VIS) which aims to meet the challenges of international competition, an aging population and climate change to ensure a healthy, sustainable, and productive future for all Victorians, while supporting and encouraging further innovation which will drive growth across the Victorian economy.

State of Design Festival is an initiative of the Victorian State Government in Australia. Commencing in 2004, the Festival has had three editions - 2004, 2006 and 2008. Starting in 2009, the Festival became an annual event.
