PEDRATOPIA Collective Announces The Design Party
Bringing Brisbane’s artists and designers together for an end-of-year celebration of art and community.
PEDRATOPIA Collective, a not-for-profit community initiative founded by the duo behind Brisbane creative studio PEDRA Studio, has officially announced The Design Party, taking place on Friday, 27 November 2026 at Vacant Assembly in West End, Brisbane. As featured in B&T.
Designed as an end-of-year collision of artists, motion designers, illustrators, and audiovisual creatives, The Design Party aims to foster genuine human connection within the local creative ecosystem.
"We are living through a cultural moment where we are more digitally interconnected than ever, yet experiencing unprecedented levels of social disconnect," says Isabelle Debnam, Executive Director at PEDRA Studio. "The Design Party is built to create a welcoming, inspiring physical space where local creatives can enjoy live music, showcase their visual art and form real, lasting relationships."
Event Highlights
Large-Format Digital Showcase: A curated digital artwork projection wall featuring Brisbane-based artists.
Live Demos & Artistry: Live painting activation with more to be revealed soon
Vinyl All Night: DJ sets by Sudaka Selekta delivering house, disco, funk, Latin, Afro, jazz, hip-hop, and soul.
Zines & Merch: Limited-edition keepsake zines and merch available for attendees.
Community-Centric Atmosphere: A chill zone, BYO drink options, and complimentary light bites.
The Collective’s identity is built around a custom typeface designed by Brazilian designer Petrus Pommé and Vietnamese designer Tom Truong. It’s inspired by Pixo.
“Pixo is São Paulo’s cryptic rooftop lettering, a way of claiming the city as your own. Tom and I took that raw energy and mixed it with the Asian underground to create a typeface that feels like both our worlds, made right here in Brisbane,” says Petrus Pommé, Creative Director at PEDRA Studio. “That same spirit drives the whole night. We wanted something bold, disruptive and gallery-style that puts local talent front and centre.”
Demonstrating how the Collective operates through shared skills, ideas, and a deep passion for the creative community, The Design Party website was designed in collaboration with Studio Quaglio—a two-person brand and web studio based in Brisbane, run by Ethan Quagliotto and Magdalena Robinson.
