five perspectives on australian furniture

a well-chosen piece of furniture contributes to the room through its proportions, construction and material character. this august 2020 archive brings together five australian design references, each with a distinct approach.

our furniture selection service in melbourne considers pieces within the whole interior: how they sit, how they are used and how they relate to existing objects. these are historical references; current ranges, manufacturing details and availability should be confirmed with the suppliers.

en gold

the en gold pieces in this selection draw attention to stone and its natural variation. pared-back forms allow the surface to carry much of the character, offering a useful reference when balancing expressive materials with quieter architecture.

grazia & co

grazia & co, founded by grazia materia, was included as a melbourne design reference. the clarity of its forms and attention to finish demonstrate how a restrained piece can still bring a distinct presence to an interior.

sarah ellison

sarah ellison’s work in this archive explores generous forms and a sculptural approach to furniture. the scale and profile of a piece are important considerations: a strong silhouette needs space to be understood within the plan.

jardan

jardan’s furniture was selected for its relationship between comfort, proportion and material. upholstery and timber can connect a room’s palette while giving individual pieces their own identity.

agostino & brown

the agostino & brown reference brings the construction and detailing of timber furniture into focus. edges, joints and the way a surface meets its support can reveal as much about a piece as its overall form.

interior decoration and styling brings these decisions together with art, lighting and textiles, allowing each selection to belong to a personal, cohesive home.
