Green Design Show at Decor and Design
Australia’s premier interior design trade event, Decor + Design, celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2024 with the theme of Evolution and the launch of an important new Green Design Show, in partnership with the Green Building Council of Australia and Circular Design Thinking.
Helping to Shift the Design Paradigm

The new Green Design Show will be co-located, capturing the established audience but changing the conversation. All exhibitors in this part of the show need to meet a robust set of guidelines curated by Circular Design Thinking (CDT), the Official Sustainability Advisor of the event.
