Semi Permanent 2016 was a great festival this year. The (now) festival continues to morph into something which co-founder and owner Murray Bell has always wanted to bring to the design community. The three day event took place out at Carriageworks, offering delegates design talks, panels, workshops, installations, galleries and networking.
3 Days of all this content, it’s hard to capture it, let alone analyse and work through it, so here are a bunch of images of presenters, and a few tweets capturing some of those semi-permanent pearls of wisdom.
