Iron Designer makes a dramatic return to the festival, as some of Melbourne's most creative minds fight it out in a no holes barred design battle – vying for the people's ovation and fame forever.
The scissors will be out as this year’s challengers go head to head for the coveted Iron Designer crown. Inspired by their Japanese cooking counterparts, design contestants work individually or in teams of 2–3 in a pressure-cooker, style design-off. Responding to State of Design’s Festival theme, design contestants will receive a ‘Sample of the Future’ and the battle's key ingredient will be revealed.
The designers are required to represent their future visually, within a set amount of time, using the key ingredient as their main working material. The aim of the game is to present a live and entertaining exploration of the creative process, showcasing the way designers think and how they transfer their thoughts into something visual.
Reputations will be on the line at the BMW Edge Design Stadium. This fast-paced contest will then see winners go through to a championship playoff – where the ultimate winner will be crowned Iron Designer 2009, basking in the glory and adulation of the crowd.
Hosted by Tony Wilson.
Featuring Chase & Galley, The Foundry, Cornwell Design, Maddison Architects, Wooden Toy, 21-19 and Six Degrees.
Presented by Studio Binocular and Innocent Bystander
