Working in both recycled and new materials Post Industrial Designs sculptor/designer, Jos Van Hulsen, continues to re-imagine old objects and displays them in a contemporary context. Sculptural beds, lights, gates, cupboards and tables are just some of the things you can find. Jos is also available for sculptural and design commissions for both private and commercial clientele. To complement Jos’s

work other products are soured largely from local artists. Hand made bags created form recycled leather, hand crafted jewellery, cushions, soaps, cards, jams and pickles can all be found in store. Although we take pride in sourcing unusual hand made items you can still find a treasure from $5.

We are looking to re home our bespoke counter by Jos Van Hulsen. Artist . We love it so much and would love it to find a new home 🥺 We are asking 3.5k which barely covers cost of materials 🤯 If we were to custom make this counter for someone it would cost 20k. We can customise/modify the counter to fit your specifications. Modifications would be charged at an hourly rate. L 353.5 cm x W 63.3cm H 90cm

Most of our fittings and furniture must go. Reluctant sale of this 1950's industrial shelving $350. We have faithfully carted this around since the early 1990's and we will be sad to see it go 😭 Apologies for image quality. Only 3 more days folks . .

To say the last 2 weeks have been overwhelming is an understatement. What a whirlwind it has been 🥹❤️☺️ Thank you everyone for your public and private messages. It seems WEFO's worst kept secret is official . . . . The Flower Shed IS moving into our space ☺️🌷🌺 A big heart felt welcome to John and Ann and their gorgeous team. I'm sure y'all will show them the love in true WEFO style ☺️ Rumour has it they might even be doing coffee 😱🤫🤫 But thats their story . . . . .

It is true. . our closing down sign might have been a give away 🤣 Post Industrial Design will be winding up and our last day of trade will be the 19th of August. We are sad to go but excited too! Thank u from the bottom of our heart for everyones support. We will miss being part of our shopping strip community . . . but to quote the great Gough Whitlam ‘It’s Time’ 🙂

This really would have to be the hardest post I have had to write, and to be honest I am not quite sure where to start, so perhaps I should start at the beginning . . . back in 2010 when we first took on the space in Barkly street. We were embraced by neighbours who showered us with produce from their gardens and the odd gin & tonic on a Friday night 😉 This set the tone for what has been the most fabulous journey over the last 13 years.

What a ride it has been! We are so proud of what we have achieved. We couldn’t have had so much fun without our fabulous creative, co-conspirator’s 😉 A big shout out to the late-great Sarah Watt who held the first exhibition at Post Industrial Design. Sarah was not only an exhibitor, but a dear friend, who encouraged me to take the leap of faith and open Post Industrial Design in the first place.

Other Artists I need to acknowledge include Aaron Maguire for his fabulous photography. Alexandra Chambers (aka Clockwork Butterfly) who co-produced our Steampunk exhibition, Steamscape. Warren Kirk who took a bit of convincing that his photography was exhibition worthy and now has 2 published books under his belt 🙂 Baby Guerilla who’s work has gone on to become synonymous with our urban landscape. Jessica Dean and Marc Eden who wrote and illustrated Gertrude. Jessie Deane, textile artist (Yes we have exhibited two Jessie Dean(e)s - go figure) who’s urban industrial landscapes are out of this world. Textile artist’s Gaye Naismith Naismith and Melanie Hill who graced us with their abstract landscapes and hand sewn treasures. Betty Ennis, (aka bettybossyboots ) who is finding her way onto the coolest of catwalks and exhibitions with her bespoke artisan boots. Silvia Rotundo whose work is as joyous as she is. Heidi Weber who’s recent exhibition at Rubicon Galley is jaw droopingly incredible. Not to forget philippariddiford who’s abstract colourful prints have brought vibrancy to many a home in the west.

Our performing co-conspirators included the incredible Miss Friby whose is soon to be touring France. The Artificial Limb who’s electronic beats will woo any body into rhythmic motion. Womens Circus who continue to do fabulous things in the west. Rebecca Spalding who knocked us out with her powerful vocals. Leo Dale , Martin Elepans and Madame Sainson who brought us a WEFO Resistance. The Mercurials with Mark Ferrie, Adi Sappir and Andrew Pendlebury who filled our space with their sweet tunes.

A HUGE thank you to all the makers and designers out there who have stocked our shop. Its been so lovely working with such creative people.

And what would Post Industrial Design be without Carrol Thurley! The incredible Carrol who keeps everything together like glue! 😍

To our biggest co-conspirators Fiona Marment and Jess Haire from Pod Cafe, thank you. What a beautiful energy you both brought to the space.

Anyway we are around for a bit longer so come and say hello ☺️✌️🙏
