The Project
Discover the reimagined beauty and resilience of life under the sea. Presented by Autex Acoustics and Infinity Commercial Furniture in collaboration with students from Whitehouse Institute of Design, come to Waterloo to experience Hydrographia, an installation that invites guests to ponder an abstract underwater world. Created using Autex products and designed with zero wastage, see organic forms reengineered and the interconnection of design, the environment and what it means to Reawaken.
K5 and Elton Group partner up with Jasper Knight to create an art installation that brings the commissioned art pieces to life. Knight’s bespoke art installation, known for his vivid industrial landscapes, complements the exhibit, inspiring bold reimagining of architectural spaces. Drawing from influences like Mondrian, Memphis, and Bauhaus, “New Skins” celebrates iconic design while inviting attendees to consider innovation and experimentation in layering old and new with fearless confidence.
Klaro Design & DECO are teaming up with Billy Blue College of Design to present “The Project Wander.”
Join us at 11am to hear students discuss their creative installations, with the experience enhanced by refreshing smoothies and delicious donuts.

A Collaboration: Maxton Fox | Kaolin Tiles | Jacqueline Hall Senior Associate at PTW
The chance to view a completely new product all day, and the opportunity to win it during the Cocktail hour from 4.30pm.
Maxton Fox and Kaolin Tiles have partnered to develop a truly customised piece of furniture, designed by Jacqueline Hall Senior Associate at PTW.
“Against the Grain” creates a striking fusion of classic shapes and contemporary composition, featuring a mosaic of elegant porcelain tiles set atop a meticulously turned solid walnut timber base.
The design draws inspiration from the past, conveying Ray Eames’ playful approach to design and colour. Eames’ showed us that furniture can be an artform too, with this in mind the design has been developed as a sculpture. Making use of recyclable materials and waste, forming opportunities to feature the unique porcelain tiles and the natural beauty of walnut.
Jacqueline’s vision breathes new life into classic forms, bringing playfulness, bold colours and unexpected juxtapositions to produce a signature timeless table design that stands out from the crowd.
Immerse yourself in a world where history and design intertwine. V-ZUG and the Whitehouse Institute of Design invite you to a unique, multi-sensory exploration of form and function.

What is the brief?
In 2024, we challenge Saturday Indesign creative partners to embark on a transformative journey under the theme of ‘Reawaken’! Embrace your visionary spirit and breathe new life into your space by championing sustainability. We encourage you to reimagine and repurpose, incorporating recycling and reusing old products and things into your designs. Let ‘Reawaken’ guide you as you transcend the ordinary and weave a narrative of renewal, where each space becomes a canvas to creativity and environmental consciousness.
