LoomTex

Australian manufactured LoomTex textiles illuminate the Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre Geelong Convention & Event Centre by Woods Bagot.

LoomTex along with its joint venture partner Instyle | Textiles, Leathers + Acoustics, delivered Woods Bagot’s vision for the plenary seating & wall panelling using Australian grown & manufactured wool fabric, proudly dyed & woven in Geelong. Thousands of metres of Instyle’s wool design Native was upholstered on wall panelling & auditorium seating.

As an integral part of Instyle | Textiles, Leathers + Acoustics’s sustainability strategy that focuses on substantive & positive engagement with the environment, Instyle | Textiles, Leathers + Acoustics donates funds to The Nature Conservancy AUS for every metre of Native sold. This project alone will see thousands put towards vital environmental conservation projects around Australia.

We were honoured to celebrate the opening of the new landmark with the Geelong community over the weekend. The design of the Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention & Event Centre celebrates Wadawurrung Heritage, co-designed with the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation.

The Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre Geelong Convention & Event Centre is funded by the Australian Government & vic.government & the City of Greater Geelong through the Geelong City Deal & delivered by Development Victoria.
