Every year on my design calendar (Ohhhhkay, you got me, just in my diary) I put a big highlighter circle around URBIS Design Day. It's the day you and your friends get driven around Auckland, showroom-hopping on a tour of the city's best design destinations. And it's happening next Saturday.
At each of the 10 stops, there's a different design installation - the result of a collaboration between creative minds (a designer paired with a furniture showroom, say).
Expect a full-on day of design and fun, music and colour, complimentary food (last year's highlights included bluff oysters, cook-it-yourself angus fillet, peach shaved ice, a candyfloss machine, mini noodle boxes... I could go on...) and drinkies. Did I mention you get driven from spot to spot?
Here's a video showing you some bits of last year
