An Evening on the Future of Design

In celebration of B Corp Month and the theme “This Way Forward”, we hosted a panel discussion at our Sydney showroom on the future of sustainability in design.   Facilitated by Tim Ross, the wide-ranging conversation included Jeremy Bull of Alexander &CO., Eva-Marie Prineas of Studio Prineas, and author and journalist Karen McCartney.   Below, the speakers share their insights on the benefits of becoming certified as a B Corp, how sustainability informs their approach to design and the growing consumer appetite for values-led brands.

Plateau Project with Georges Antoni and Phoebe Ghorayeb

Home to fashion photographer Georges Antoni, model and presenter Phoebe Ghorayeb and their three young children, this 60-year-old Sydney bungalow is at its core a love letter to family. In giving the residence new life, the couple honored the post-modernist heritage while infusing it with modern warmth. Understated in palette and lively in texture, everything feels intentional and inviting – the perfect backdrop to rest, play and gather.

For Art's Sake

Last month marked the tenth edition of the FOG Design+Art Fair in San Francisco. To celebrate the acclaimed event, stylist RosySF transformed our showroom in Presidio Heights into a gallery showcasing the imaginative works of eight emerging artists from diverse backgrounds. Following the idea of a ‘Gesamtkunstwerk’, where different art forms are presented together as a collective whole, plinths were adorned with a careful arrangement of sculptures and objets d’art and placed atop our sumptuous Eden rug. With its velvety allure, the handcrafted rug acted as a beautiful canvas and the central harmonizing force for the interplay of artistic brilliance. Styling and photography by RosySF
