Discover Sustainable Design at Perth Design Week 2025

Perth Design Week (20–27 March 2025) will shine a spotlight on sustainability with two insightful events exploring the future of responsible design and craftsmanship. Hosted in a pop-up space designed by Foolscap Studio for Cultivated and Mark Tuckey, these events offer a rare opportunity to engage with experts shaping the industry through innovative and sustainable practices.

Designing with Purpose by Foolscap Studio
