Highlighting new designs and tapping into the hottest local design talent, the QND program is exclusively open to those who either currently reside or were born in Queensland. This design initiative is set to showcase the best of the best from the state's simmering design scene.

Hand picked by a judging panel of national industry leaders, design products by Fukutoshi Ueno, Shannon Garson, Marc Harrison, Alexander Lotersztain, Walter Rauchenwald, Paul Morris, Mark Heslop, Brian Steendyk, Nicole Voevodin-Cash, Bjorn Rust and Peter Biddulph have been selected for the 2007 QND exhibition.

The exhibition "highlights the wealth of innovation and design talent flooding out of Queensland's talented design pool" said Raj Nandan, Indesign Group Publisher.
