Melbourne Design Week: Tall Poppy: Curated by Tiffany Jade

29 April - 7 June 2026

Tall Poppy is more than a showcase of incredible design - it’s a statement about where Australian design stands today and where it’s heading. The exhibition marks the first time Melbourne Design Week has programmed an exhibition on the Mornington Peninsula, establishing a historic precedent for regional design excellence.


This all-encompassing celebration spotlights Australian and Melbourne designers who are breaking beyond the glass ceiling while remaining connected to centuries-old traditions. More importantly, it makes visible Australia’s new era of design: one defined by accessibility, collaboration and feasibility.
