In August this year I was lucky enough to make it down to Sydney for the 2011 Saturday Indesign to scout out Australia's finest suppliers and showrooms of quality interior furniture, lighting and finishes. Brisbane's Woods Bagot Interior design team and I were well prepared for the day, armed with a map of the particular places we wanted to visit as we kick-started our design-packed day at the trendy Jardan showroom in Surry Hills.
jardan :: beautiful and bright retro-styled pieces with lovely attention to detail.
great dane furniture :: sophisticated danish + scandinavian furniture and lighting. The highlight was the unique and stylish cork pendants.
spence and lyda :: more rounded peices with a retro feel
zenith :: a focus on real-time working with bright, bold colours.
schiavello :: Blurring the line between public and private spaces with the clever use of screenings and alternatives to traditional partitions
tait outdoor :: I loved Tait's outdoor furniture as they provide fun feature peices that compliment Australia's outdoor lifestyle with a modern and chic style.
euroluce :: Plenty of fabulous lighting options with the showroom cleverly styled using neon lighting installations to present their designs.
And finally, we celebrated that night in style at Stylecraft's fantastic showroom party...
