Mid-century weekend jaunt

My friend Chris, publisher of Australian Modern, is staging a Modernist Architecture and Design (MAD) weekend from 29 June to 1 July in Brisbane. I for one can't wait!


There will be three separate events which make up the MAD weekend.

The first two sessions are design and architecture talks (well-known Brisbane architects, designers and collectors), documentary films about modernism, a twilight cocktail party and dinner on Friday 29 and Saturday 30 June. These events are always a lot of fun and are hosted at Chris and Susan's fabulous mid-century home.


On Sunday 1 July from 10am the much anticipated modern house interiors tour is on! You'll get to visit some fine examples of mid-century Brisbane homes.


I'm a definite for the house tour (loved the last tour) and our babysitter will decide whether Jason and I attend either the Friday night or Saturday session.


There is a cost for each of the events. Bookings are essential to assist catering. Spaces are also strictly limited.


If you want to find out more details or would like to book a spot, contact Chris+Susan (07) 3395 4571 or email chris@brisbanemodern.com.au

  1. Hello:
    This all sounds too wonderful for words, particularly the house tour which, we are certain, will prove to be hugely interesting and very popular.

    And we do hope that you find a baby sitter for the cocktail party and dinner, or at least for one of them.

    Hey, I met Will Dangar from Robert Plumb the other day and thought of your post on peg baskets. How's your blue and white striped number going? xx

  8. Thanks Sarah and B!!

    Pele, I hope you didn't mention his exorbitant peg basket? He makes great letter boxes too. The blue and white peg basket is going strong for the $2 that I spent on it (I keep it for the line under the house) and I found a $5 wire one from Kmart that is the bomb for outside! xx
