As is becoming an IDX tradition, we’re curating an interactive gallery where you are the exhibiting artist. Inspired by The World Design Organisations theme: Resilience.

"What is your Object of Resilience?"

We invite you to design, create, or share an object that reflects your own journey of resilience - through the lens of design and your design practice - whether it's a product, prototype, keepsake, tool, or meaningful artefact that tells a story of overcoming challenges, growth, adaptation, or perseverance.

Set in a relaxed, standing-format environment, the evening unfolds as a collective exchange where designers gather around a central table, presenting, questioning, and responding to one another. Guided prompts throughout the night will encourage deeper thinking, connecting individual perspectives into a broader conversation about design, resilience, and the role objects play in shaping both.

This is not just an event, but a space to connect, reflect, and reframe how we see the things we make and the stories they hold.

Tickets include an entry drink.

Team packages available :)

We are looking forward to seeing you.

IDX is deeply committed to creating inclusive events that reflect the diversity of our members and the industrial design community. We believe in making sure that all voices are heard, especially those that have been historically underrepresented in the design industry. Considerations for diversity include, but are not limited to, race, ethnicity, nationality, gender and expression, age, career-level, religion, ability, and sexual orientation. We want everyone to feel comfortable and valued at our events.
