Make Designed Objects

  • Jewellery
  • Watches

Make Designed Objects is a contemporary design retail store focusing on well-designed homewares, textiles and bedding, kitchenware, jewellery, gifts, cards, and more.

To be selected by the store a product must perform well when considered for its design appeal - both aesthetically and theoretically, its environmental soundness, its durability, its necessity, and in some cases its humour.

With around 4,000 objects from over 300 designers, Make Designed Objects stocks over 150 different design brands including Fink and Co, Iittala, Marimekko, Eva Solo, Alessi, Stelton, Normann Copenhagen, and Menu.

The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection they have maintained to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

We accept the invitation in the Uluru Statement from the Heart and are committed to walking together to build a better future. For more information, visit Aboriginal Melbourne.
