Core77

Lucy Feagins from The Design Files has the lowdown on what's worth checking out at next week's Melbourne International Design Festival (July 17-27, 2008). Her number one choice is French artist Patrick Blanc's Vertical Garden installation at Melbourne Central, Patrick will be speaking at Federation Square on July 18th.

And if you're in Melbourne, Core77's Editor-in-Chief Allan Chochinov will be speaking at the Design Capital conference as part of the State of Design Festival which run's simultaneously with the MIDF.
