Co//Operate
Melbourne Design Week | 1-2 June 2024
Blomley Cashman Design Office presents Co//Operate - an interactive exhibition exploring the role of objects as conduits for connection.
Co//Operate encourages visitors to contemplate how our spaces and things can influence our relationships in post-lockdown Melbourne.
How can our environment be the catalyst that helps shared experience overcome the walls of caution that we learned to erect?
We imagine furniture that serves as a tool to heal community.
We present a world that is unnavigable when alone, but rewards collaboration.
In this world, you have permission to consider how play, humour and courage can facilitate the joy of exploring the unknown.
BCDO invites you to engage with a suite of novel objects that are intentionally frustrating to use as an individual, but come to life through cooperation.
Cooperate, interact, play
Join us at Collingwood Yards and experience a suite of objects designed to provoke play and enjoyment.
