Australia’s premier interiors trade event, Decor + Design, will celebrate its 21st birthday next year with the 2nd edition of a co-located Green Design Show at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre from 16th – 18th July 2025
The Green Design Show will once again be a beautiful ‘show within a show’ at the entrance to Decor + Design, which is expecting 9000+ design trade visitors over three days. It will celebrate truly sustainable furniture, products and materials from leading brands across the Australian green design space. Confirmed exhibitors
Partnering With Authorities on Sustainability in Design
It’s integral to us that the 2025 Green Design Show is curated with intention and transparency, avoiding the pervasive greenwashing across the design industry and the entire marketplace.
This important event is being curated purposefully and transparently by industry experts, to help drive a paradigm shift within the Australian design industry. Partners of the 2025 Green Design Show include the Green Building Council of Australia and Circular Design Thinking.
Robust Guidelines and Documentation
Our Official 2025 Sustainability Advisor, Circular Design Thinking, has deep industry
knowledge and have devised stringent but practical guidelines for 2025 Green Design Show exhibitors.
Before being confirmed as part of the event, Green Design Show exhibitors will be given an index rating for their performance across two categories. This is not an official rating system like the Green Building Council of Australia’s Green Stars. Rather it allows us to do due diligence, circumvent greenwashing and ensure that all Green Design Show exhibitors are legitimate.
It will also provide a meaningful illustration for visitors at the show as to where companies are on their sustainability journey.

Two Key Categories
There are two key Green Design Show exhibitor categories – Green Product or Circularity. Exhibitors can submit for one category or both. An application form must be completed with supporting documentation.
Sustainability is constantly evolving. The indexing will show areas in which exhibitors are strong, while also allowing for areas where they may wish to improve. Transparency is the goal, rather than perfection.
Participating Consensus
All exhibitors taking part in the Green Design Show will need to commit to strategies such as tracking transport and waste, communal storage and documentation of product lifecycle. There will also be requirements for the sustainable construction of stands.
Be Part of the Evolution
This is an important moment for both the exhibition and interior design industry in Australia. If you’d like more information on exhibiting as part of the Green Design Show, please register your interest and our team will be in touch asap.
