Back to EventsAfter 30 years in the CBD, Perth furniture showroom DesignFARM has decided now is the right time to relocate to Fremantle and launch a new furniture range, WAX.
With ever-changing project pressures and a strong desire to offer meaningful sustainability, WAX is an offering full of optimism.
With ‘WA’ for Western Australia, and the ‘X’ for collaboration, the first WAX release, ‘Mallee’, by Jack Flanagan, is a locally made series inspired by the Mallee tree’s unique flower.
The new showroom is also a collaboration, with Fremantle-based studio Design Theory adapting a long-time vacant space into a new place for showcasing DesignFARM’s products and passion for design.
Meet Jack Flanagan, Jamie Washer (DesignFARM) and Lisa Reeves (Design Theory), and listen as they share the stories from behind these exciting initiatives and announce what is next for WAX.
Full address:
Best Wishes, Shop 9/2 Cantonment Street, Fremantle
Run times:
4pm – Doors open
4:30pm – Talk
5pm – Networking and light refreshments to follow at Design Theory’s studio next door.
