OUR mission statement

MADE ON THE LEFT was founded in 2008 by independent designers to support Western Australian creative talent. We hold bi-annual handmade craft markets to showcase local designers.

Being on the left hand side of Australia no longer

means you'll be at a disadvantage.

Our aim is to support all creative designers and events showcasing independent labels. MOTL is a not-for-profit, non-partisan organisation. You may wonder why we promote other markets besides MOTL; it’s because it’s not about us, its about you; the buyers and sellers of indie wares. Here at the blog, you’ll discover up to date information about our latest market, the low-down on some of Perth’s emerging talents, other opportunities for artists and designers and a little bit of fun stuff too. It’s all right here… welcome!

Four key words: small, local, open, connected

Design for Social Innovation

The design of products has greatly improved over the last thirty years. Even though cars and many of the white goods we use are much more environmentally friendly today, we are still consuming at a rate that's unsustainable. Ezio Manzini discusses how designers and design researchers can do a lot to empower social innovation for sustainability.
