EDITOR’S LETTER

VL50 • The VL50 is a veritable snapshot of AUSTRALIA’S most dazzling creative talent, a mix of VISIONARIES, rule-breakers and maestros of materiality. Prized for their commitment to the wider DESIGN community and indicative of this country’s extraordinary ability to punch far above its weight, this year’s collective will be CELEBRATED in Sydney at an awards ceremony presented by Mobilia.

DUAL PURPOSE • Charged by an unlikely career transition from pro-athlete to DESIGNER and architect and the push-pull of cultural influences, VL50 guest of honour JORIS POGGIOLI pulls back the curtain on the many sources of his creative wizardry.
