    • 🏙️ 🗞️ The @cityofmelbourne has announced they are prioritising design with the appointment of more than 40 experts to two new design advisory bodies—and we love to see it! We’re delighted to see so many collaborators and friends of MPavilion appointed, including Sarah Lynn Rees, Jill Garner, Rory Hyde, Tania Davidge, Martyn Hook, and Georgia Birks, to name a few... The panels will provide formal design advice on development applications, advocacy and culture, focusing on opportunities to reassert Melbourne’s global reputation as a leading design city. At MPavilion, we seek to champion the role of design and demonstrate Melbourne’s status as an international design leader, so we congratulate @cityofmelbourne and all those appointed on this important initiative.

    • 👏 BEST IN CLASS 👏 We are thrilled to announce that MPavilion 2020 Stool Dolly by @BoardGrove has received a Good Design Award Best in Class Accolade in the Product Design category from @gooddesignaus. The 'socially distant' design is joyful as well as practical, responding to a time when physical distancing was critical, safety was key and morale was low. Reminiscent of children's paper dolls connected by their outstretched arms, each Stool Dolly chair could be positioned at ‘arm’s length’ (1.5 metres) or interlocked—allowing audiences to be safely apart, together. ✨ Congratulations, @BoardGrove! ✨ Read more about the Stool Dolly commission via the link in our bio. 📷 Image 1 & 3: @anthonyrichardson_ Image 2: @caseyhorsfield #MPavilion #GoodDesign #GoodDesignAward #FurnitureDesign
