About Design Show Australia
Design Show Australia is a furniture, lighting, textiles and interiors show where brands meet Australia's architecture and design community: architects, interior designers, specifiers and developers. It runs with the Kitchen+Bath Show and Commercial Interiors Show, and is organised by National Media. The former Interiors Australia web address now points to its site.
