OPEN STUDIO Invitation | Melbourne Design Week 2026 | Ross Gardam

OPEN STUDIO Presented by Ross Gardam

For the occasion of MELBOURNE DESIGN WEEK 2026, Ross Gardam will open their production studio to the public for the first time. An environment defined by process and materiality, where luminaires take form through locally sourced materials and meticulous hand-assembly in Brunswick East, Melbourne.

Amongst the rhythm of production, Gardam will unveil a new lighting collection, joining the studio’s ever-expanding portfolio. Visitors are invited to explore a curation of pieces first introduced at Milan Design Week, accompanied by new material studies and refined configurations. The presentation will also feature Gardam’s latest edition works, including Relic, shown in Australia for the first time.
