FAQ

What happened to Object?

We are still the same organisation, however, after 50 years we decided that it was time for a change. So in 2015, we partnered with the creative team at Interbrand to come up with a new look for us. The result was a re-brand of the organisation and changing our name from Object to the Australian Design Centre. In May 2015, we also moved from our Surry Hills address to a new home in Darlinghurst, which is now our permanent residence.

How do I get to the Australian Design Centre?

Our new office and gallery is just a short stroll from the CBD, Kings Cross, Town Hall and Museum stations, if you are travelling by public transport or by foot. There are also a number of buses that stop near William St. Please check with TransportNSW before planning your journey. More on our contact details here.

Some street parking does exist near William St, although it is subject to availability. The closest paid parking is on 70 Riley St. More on free and paid parking availability through Parkopedia.

What else can I check out in Darlinghurst?

There are many galleries within walking distance of Australian Design Centre, which you can find out more about through Urban Walkabout. Our friends at Darlinghurst Business Partnership have their finger on the pulse for all things Darlo and they have a great selection of businesses on their creative precinct map that are definitely worth checking out. Our partners at the City of Sydney also have a colourful calendar of local events throughout the year, and you can keep up-to-date by checking their What's On listings.

Are you still publishing Object magazine?

Object magazine is no longer in print, however, you can still access highlights from issues 60 digitally at Object on iTunes.
