Join the Evolution
In 2026, Australia’s definitive destination for interior design, Decor + Design, will celebrate its 22nd anniversary, with 10,000+ design visitors over 3 days, 15 – 17 July, at Melbourne Exhibition Centre. It will also mark the 3rd edition of the co-located Green Design Show.
Australia’s only truly dedicated trade event for the sustainable interior design sector, the 3rd edition will go beyond a traditional exhibition to become a journey through innovative furniture fixtures, finishes and building materials.
The exhibition will become a collaborative activation that connects the design community.
A range of collaborator packages will open the door to smaller companies and start-ups who wish to showcase only one or two products that are ‘green’, as well as more established sustainable brands with extensive ranges. An innovative Green Design Trail will wend through the exhibition, showcasing gorgeous future materials.
The 3rd Green Design Show evolution will be supported by our Official Sustainability Advisor, Circular Design Thinking, as well as by the 2026 GDS Committee.
Be part of a movement that redefines the future of sustainable design. If you are a sustainable design brand or have sustainable products within your collections that you would like to feature, we would love to hear from you.
