Our Purpose, Our Work, Our Values
What's in a name?
For us - everything.
Design is our approach.
Quintessence is our standard.
Together, they define who we are—together, they are DQ.
At Design Quintessence, design is more than a process - it's a mindset that shapes how we approach challenges, tailor solutions and deliver the systems our industry depends on.
Quintessence reflects our commitment to delivering the highest standard of quality - refined, reliable and built to last.
With over three decades of trusted expertise, we work closely with our customers to understand their needs and respond with care, precision and accountability. We partner with world-class manufacturers and maintain close supplier relationships to deliver internationally certified products that reflect our standards for quality, safety and performance. Through long-standing collaborations—like our partnership with Global Truss—we offer solutions that are trusted, proven and uniquely DQ. As one of the first to introduce many of these systems to the Australian market, we’ve helped shape the standards the industry relies on today.
Truss, Staging and Cases are at the core of what we do. Every solution is backed by thoughtful sourcing, local capability and a genuine commitment to getting things right.
What We Do
We specialise in Truss, Staging and Cases—modular systems and protective equipment that support the demands of events, entertainment, touring, production, and beyond. From local festivals to international productions, we supply robust, certified solutions designed to move easily, work reliably and last.
How We Work
With over 30 years of industry experience, we collaborate closely with our customers to understand their needs and deliver practical, fit-for-purpose results. Our approach is built on strong relationships—both with our global suppliers and the clients we serve. We’re hands-on, responsive, and committed to delivering smart, dependable solutions that meet the demands of every project—big or small, everyday or complex.
Why It Matters
Because reliable equipment isn’t just a detail—it’s the foundation of a successful project. We believe the best results come from working with people who take pride in what they do. And that’s why our customers come back: for a team that’s easy to work with, committed to quality and in it for the long haul.
What You Can Expect
Driven by Design
Design is at the heart of everything we do. Great design means practical, reliable solutions that give you peace of mind—letting you focus on the creative and time-critical parts of your project.
Safety
Safety isn’t optional. All our structural products are independently certified, and we regularly collaborate with structural engineers to ensure industry-leading standards.
Reliable Support
At DQ, support starts with partnership. By working together, we deliver solutions tailored to your needs. Our hands-on commitment means we step up to ensure the show must go on. Customers rely on us not just for products, but for the partnership we bring to every project.
Extensive Supply
With vast inventory across multiple warehouses, we provide immediate access to a comprehensive range of off-the-shelf products. Beyond this, we have the expertise and network to source and customise specialised solutions, ensuring your unique project requirements are met.
