blok @ BiD ’08 – truly was ‘the place to be’

QUTStudentBlok at BiD ’08 truly was ‘the place to be’ on Saturday 20 September.

Blok and QUT joined forces to create a display at Lightspace, described as a “crowded exhibition location” by Indesignlive. That’s an understatement! We clocked over 1000 attendees through the door, which exceeded expectations and provided a constant buzz of energy and a party-like atmosphere for the entire day.

It was great to see some familiar faces as Blok clients came through to check it out, but it was also an excellent opportunity to make the acquaintance of new people and introduce them to our product range.

Blok’s new pieces received plenty of compliments from the crowd, and gave people a place to relax, put their feet up, and view the inventive designs of QUT students while they filled in their ‘People’s Choice’ ballot. With the chance to win a gorgeous lulu ottoman, the competition became so popular we ran out of voting forms! Sorry if you missed out… maybe next time?

There was an extremely positive response to the student’s exhibited pieces, which were displayed in a highly professional manner and have genuine potential for further commercial development. We will be making an announcement in the near future, so stand by for a new and exciting product to hit the marketplace.

It was great to hear feedback from industry colleagues about Blok’s commitment to supporting students and local designers – thanks, guys, it’s important to us, and we look forward to continued collaboration in the future!

Some other comments were:

  • “This place has got a great vibe!”
  • “We heard on the buses that this spot was a must-see”
  • “The BEST chocolate bikkies!” 
  • “LOVE the new aura table” 
  • “We heard you had Little Creatures”

Thanks to all who attended, and we look forward to seeing you at the next Blok event. Make sure you have a look at our Blok BiD ’08 photo gallery to see if you can spot yourself.

Also, take a look at the Blok Bid ’08 launch pieces lola, lulu, aura, stella bench and luna.

optus calls on blok

Since it’s release at Brisbane Indesign last year, our duo range is fast becoming a blok bestseller. Hassell must like it too, as a bevy of duo ottomans were ordered through our NSW Agent, Interstudio to take pride of place on the floor the largest single tenant corporate campus in Australia – the new Optus headquarters in Sydney’s Macquarie Park. Indesign Vol. 31 ran the Optus story, which saw the duo ottomans featured across a double page spread, looking splendid in Gabriel Europost Fabric. Blok duo is a versatile seating option, upholstered with a stainless steel base and available in an ottoman, chaise and sofa. Check it out…
