Trent & Henry Launch Party

Overview

Trent & Henry is a new design workshop and gallery in the heart of Sydney's oldest and most sandstoney district, and this week they're inviting people to come check them out for their official opening.

Trent & Henry began as part of The Rocks Pop Up Project. By virtue of being regarded by most Sydney-siders as a bit of a tourist trap, the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority and Arts NSW attempted to mix it up and draw the locals back by launching the project earlier this year. The Rocks Pop Up project allowed emerging designers and creative groups to have short-term access to vacant sandstone buildings in The Rocks as pop-up shops, galleries and workspaces.

Now, though, Trent & Henry have been given a longer lease and a free hand to create a unique platform from which to draw people into their creative process. Housed in an old sandstone warehouse at 47 George Street, the space has been transformed into a design workspace much like those in Berlin, where the culture of open studios encourages the public to go in, have a look around and check out the artisans at work. In addition, the studio will also be used as event space.
