Another initiative from the creative folk of Right Angle studio.

This is the Lost and Found Hotel – a one room hotel that is kitted out with all the local designery types’ fixtures, furniture, reading material, linen – all the stuff that you see in a hotel room is done by Melbourne designers. And the greatest thing – its free! So go to the site now and register your interest, and see if you can score a free night in the hotel.

Interestingly, this is another mutual benefit situation. Sponsored by Tourism Victoria, it promotes the greatest things about Melbourne, and each local designer donates their wares for a short period of time in order to gain exposure. Win-win synergies going on here, and the City of Melbourne as a cultural capital continues.

This demonstrates how innovation can increase cultural capital; how does design and innovation do the same for social capital?
