We're excited to announce that we're taking part in Design Victoria 2024! 🙌🏼

The Downtown Design Trail is a curated, self-guided tour that you can follow anytime over the weekend to check out mini-exhibitions by independent designers and small studios. Each designer or business has been paired with a downtown retailer with a window to showcase the work of that designer(s).

Step 1: Pick up a map at any of the listed retailers or Design Victoria event partners.

Step 2: Collect a sticker at each location and submit your map at our key hub (the Gabriel Ross showroom) or tag us online to win a Design Victoria tote bag, florals from Rockrose Farm or an Ecologyst top.

Design Victoria is a four-day festival that celebrates the city's growing design community including (but not limited to) interior, architecture, urban, landscape, graphic, illustration, fashion, product, lighting, furniture, software, and ceramic design.

Follow Design Victoria and sign up for the newsletter to get early access to the many free and paid ticketed events, and follow on social

The vision of Design Victoria is to fill the city with inspiring and accessible ways to interact with and learn about compelling design from architecture and fashion to public space - and so much more.

👀 A peek behind the scenes!

Our team starts out any project by weaving in sustainability right from the initial idea, through prototyping, and finally into what will actually be produced. We balance the product's purpose, functionality, lifetime durability, material selection, and aesthetics to develop a solution that takes everything we know into consideration.

From concept sketches to prototyping, our process is a journey to a greener future 🌎🌿
