Returning for its 25th year, the exhibition Top Designs showcases Victoria’s next generation of designers and features student works that present solutions to real-world challenges.

Seventy-seven exceptional new makers are now on show at Melbourne Museum, with bold design reaching across disciplines.

From Hamish Brown’s EcoShades – eco-friendly sunnies made from repurposed coffee grounds and biopolymers – to Noah Freeman’s Cohab+ Modular Housing System – a smart, quick-build modular housing solution to alleviate Australia’s housing crisis – “these designs redefine possibilities and challenge how we think about and interact with the world around us,” explains the Museum.
