Now in its second year, Designing Your Future is an educational design collaboration between Sydney Olympic Park and SWSi’s Lidcombe Design students. It celebrates cutting edge design work across the creative disciplines of furniture design, product design, interior design, interior decoration and design fundamentals.

It was opened last week by Robyn Holt, former Vogue Living editor and presenter on The Renovators. Her advice to students was to listen, be motivated and have respect.

The Commercial Design Awards were also announced, to the value of over $15,000. More than 200 industry people attended, including with Barry Du Bois from Channel 10’s The Living Room. 

The exhibition will be open every weekend until February 2013.
