australian design, individual character
australian design offers varied perspectives on form, material and making. this may 2019 archive brings together ceramics, lighting, furniture, textiles and art, selected for their individual character.
these are historical references, rather than a current product or manufacturing directory. our furniture selection service in melbourne reviews origin, specification and suitability for each project.
ceramics, tantri mustika
the tantri mustika reference brings colour and a terrazzo-like pattern to a functional vessel. variation gives each piece a distinct presence, best appreciated with some space around its form.
scandal pendant, articolo
glass and metal meet in the elongated scandal pendant. its proportion makes suspension and room height important considerations, with the finish reviewed alongside the surrounding joinery and stone.
martin, emily persson
emily persson’s martin painting introduces texture through the painted surface. a work’s depth and colour are best considered in person where possible, alongside framing and the intended viewing distance.
bedlinen, cultiver
the cultiver reference explores linen through a quieter palette. bedding selection combines fabric feel, dimensions and care, with colour contributing to the room’s wider textile arrangement.
attalos lamp, marz designs
the attalos lamp pairs a fluted base with a rounded globe. this architectural detail gives the smaller object a strong identity, making its scale and position worth considering within the room.
landlock, martine emdur
the martine emdur reference explores water, light and the human figure. art selection should allow for personal connection as well as composition, with the setting supporting the work rather than competing with it.
hoshi bench, sheehan studio
the hoshi bench introduces a restrained timber form. review its dimensions and finish against the proposed use, allowing the grain and construction to sit within the broader material palette.
timber objects, jo wilson
jo wilson’s timber objects bring attention to grain, surface and the character of the material. a sculptural piece can be both useful and expressive, with placement allowing its proportions to be understood.
our art selection and commissioning service connects these individual discoveries with the people and interiors they are chosen for.
