Studio Voltaire, the London-based charity that has supported artists for over twenty years through a programme of exhibitions, performances, events and education projects, has opened a new House of Voltaire pop-up shop in Melbourne, Australia.

The shop is open from July 14-24 and supported by QIC Global Real Estate and Farfetch. Studio Voltaire has also introduced a new capsule collection for Melbourne shoppers, which is also available on Farfetch. The collection includes colour-block ceramics by fashion designer Roksanda, as well as limited edition silk tops by Roksanda & Eva Rothschild; slogan sweatshirts by Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller; cashmere scarves by Peter Pilotto & Francis Upritchard; and Scottish wool sweaters and scarves by SIBLING & Jim Lambie, among other pieces.

House of Voltaire's Melbourne shop is located in the former Le Louvre Townhouse at 80 Collins. Prices for products range from $1 to $80,000, and proceeds will go to support Studio Voltaire's exhibition and education programmes. Studio Voltaire has previously collaborated with brands including Chloé.
