Melbourne publisher Ripe Off The Press proudly presents this unique new publication - a celebration of the achievements and ideas of twenty-six of Australia’s next generation of leading architects, interior designers and furniture designers.

Featuring hundreds of stunning full-colour images, Open Doors serves as a source of inspiration for both design practitioners and lovers of well-designed homes. Contributors explore the current state of architecture and interior design in Australia and identify intelligent ways of dealing with challenges like ecological sustainability, increasing manufacturing costs and effective use of technology.

Contributors hail from many corners of the country and collectively have received countless awards and accolades. Included are the likes of Christopherchris (named by Wallpaper magazine as one of the world’s most exciting new architects in 2007), Bernabei Freeman (recipient of the Australian Design Mark award for their perforated aluminium chandelier) and Buro Architects + Interiors (awarded two high commendations in the 2007 Interior Design Awards).

The release of Ripe’s debut publication, Designation, prompted the Melbourne Design Guide to exclaim,“Finally, a Melbourne-based publisher with gusto!” Now, Open Doors is set to impress those seeking an insight into Australia’s built environment as well as those simply seeking inspiration for their own homes.
