What does it take to bring Australian design to the world stage? What embodies the Australian aesthetic? How do you get a furniture brand off the ground? These are the kinds of questions the guys behind SP01 ponder. Sitting comfortably in the brandā€™s new outdoor range (designed by Tom Fereday) in Milan, Italy, Aleesha Callahan chats to SP01ā€™s product development manager Matt Lorrain.
Every now and then an exhibition comes along that invites the viewer to delve deep into past experience in order to see the possibilities of the future. A visit to Future Eaters, the latest exhibition to grace the floors of Monash Universityā€™s MUMA (Monash University Museum of Art), is just such an occasion.
The VIVID 2017 Award winners were announced last week, at an award ceremony held at Decor + Design and AIFF exhibition in Melbourne. Selected from a shortlisted 44 products, the winners include James Walsh and Ash Allen's Igneous light, an elegant bike rack by Adrian Olassau and a task light which pays homage to ancient boat building techniques.
As the VIVID design competition is days away from being announced, ADR chats with last yearā€™s furniture design winner, Bryan Cush.
