Design X Nature
About the event
Design X Nature is an outdoor exhibition of artworks exploring how natural systems inform creative practice, material experimentation and ecological thinking.
As part of Melbourne Fringe, the Australian Drylands becomes a living gallery shaped by design and scientific research, featuring new works by Courtney Coombs, Cara Johnson, Bethany Kiss and Soft Meadow Collective.
The commissions in Design X Nature were developed through a research lab residency at Melbourne Gardens in 2025, exploring nature-led design in dialogue between artists, designers, and experts from the Gardens across various disciplines.
Expand your experience of the Design X Nature exhibition through a series of walks, talks, and workshops exploring the creative possibilities of the natural world, set among our stunning native flowering meadows.
Then, welcome the longer evenings of daylight saving with a refreshing drink from the Brunswick Aces Gin Pop-Up on selected dates throughout the exhibition.
