Making Good: Redesigning the Everyday explores how designers are reshaping the products and systems that shape our daily lives - transforming them into solutions that are better for people and the planet. From biodegradable packaging to sofas that embrace you, clothing that adapts as you grow, concrete made from coffee grounds, and air-purifying paints, the exhibition brings together innovations that reduce waste, extend product lifespans, and recalibrate the systems and sectors we interact with every day - from health to fashion and furniture, food and construction.
Through objects that are functional, beautiful, and environmentally conscious, Making Good showcases how design can drive positive change. Featured works demonstrate the power of material innovation, ethical production, and user-centred design to create products that are as thoughtful as they are practical. By prioritising longevity, social impact, and ecological responsibility, this exhibition focuses on the bright side of design today.
Making Good brings together the work of more than 50 contemporary designers, studios, and brands from Australia and abroad who are rethinking how we live, one object, system, and interaction at a time. Featuring new materials and prototypes alongside everyday products and design from the NGV Collection, Making Good offers a hopeful glimpse into how everyday design can positively shape our lives.
