People of Salone Satellite 2015

Here are some pictures of the designers that were participating in Satellite 2015. We all helped each other out. Sharing ladders, tools and spare hands when needed. Good team effort I say.

 Designers from Satellite 2015

The week of design in Milan has been one of shear depth. I've never experienced something so strong and contagious. The whole city everywhere I looked had something related to design going on. From a bare and blank building transformed into a Nendo exhibit to hardware stores selling droog screws in packets. Streets turned into car showrooms (Audi City Lab) to the actual fair grounds of Rho. Fiera Milano Rho is the biggest dedicated showgrounds I have ever been to. 

The set-up of the stand was a difficult one. We did not have many resources to leverage on. Being in a different country and on the other side of the world adds its pros and cons. But we did the best with what we were given. And I'm proud of that. Good 'Aussie' spirit, have a crack.

The mix of designers from all around the world was such a great thing to be apart of. And to get a chance to exchange ideas and converse about design was even better.

By the end of the set-up we had a stand to be proud of. It was simple but worked well to show and complement our products.

Melbourne Movement - Salone del Mobile 2015

Melbourne Movement is a talented mix of young Australian designers, determined to build an international reputation for cutting edge Australian design. Melbourne Movement was founded in 1999 by Kjell Grant, an accomplished designer and professor of design at RMIT University.

Fostering and promoting products by excellent young designers and informing the public, retailers and manufacturers of the value and standard of design in Australia, are the core objectives of Melbourne Movement.

Grant currently invites young designers whose work is considered challenging and innovative in a world context to exhibit with the group. Melbourne Movement actively assists designers to commercialise their products. Melbourne Movement aims to make manufacturers, retailers and consumers become aware of the value of good design, and to promote the design excellence of young Australian designers.


We are a group of 7 designers from Melbourne. Our backgrounds in design vary from studies in Furniture design, Architecture to Industrial Design. And this year we are excited to be displaying our designs in Milan. Majority of the designs are lights including pendant, floor and table orientations and a chair design.
