A DESIGN-LOVERS DAYDREAM: Visit the Dreamy JDV STORE in Prahran
There are homewares stores… and then there’s JDV. Sitting quietly on High Street, this beautifully restrained new space feels like entering a thoughtfully curated world: soft light across sculptural ceramics, Japanese porcelain, woven textures and pieces chosen with an editor’s eye. Nothing feels crowded or accidental; everything has intention and a quiet sense of beauty.
Its unexpected delight? A tiny cafe woven into the space, serving excellent coffee and matcha beside smooth stoneware and gleaming glassware. It’s a place to slow down, browse intentionally and imagine how each object could shift the feeling of your home.
For a weekend moment that feels calm, tactile and design-led, JDV STORE is the one to seek out.

LUSH LIFE: Inner Studio’s Weekend Vinyl Sets
Collingwood’s lush wellness haven is turning up the volume — literally. Every weekend, Inner Studio now pairs its ritual of sauna, cold plunge and hot pools with live DJ sets (Saturdays, 12:30 to 4:30pm, Sundays, 11 to 3:30pm). Between beats, expect deep breaths, tea by the fire, and the kind of slow-burn community that feels as restorative as the magnesium pools themselves. Equal parts party and pause, it’s Melbourne’s freshest way to reset.
Sitchu Tip: Book early — spots vanish fast.
Warehouse 9/5-11 Campbell Street, Collingwood
