Welcome to some of my favourite things.

WELCOME

Welcome to my blog and my first post of many to come ! 
Along the way I would like to share some of my favourite pieces of furniture, lighting, design and exhibitions that are happening all over the world in the deign industry. I hope that my inspirations become your inspiration too.





ALL THINGS MELBOURNE 
FOOD. GRAFFITI. ARCHITECTURE.
                

Melbourne Graffiti located in Hosier Lane along with some of Melbourne's most scrumptious Spanish tapas at Movida. 

   


Abbotsford Convent home to Melbourne's most talented and creative artisans and designers. A great place to visit on the weekend to experience the true medieval French ecclesiastic architecture and surrounding gardens, while enjoying a wood fired oven pizza baked on the premises.






LIGHTING


                   Bocci series 28 chandelier

I love the hand blown 'Bocci 28 series chandelier' from Vancouver, Canada. The simplicity of the form and transparency make for an interesting centre pice to any home.

CLASSIC DINING CHAIR

The Wishbone chair otherwise known as CH24, was designed by Hans J. Wegner for Carl Hansen & Son in 1949 and production has not been disrupted since it's 1950.Classically beautiful and light yet also comfortable, it is a truly amazing and timeless piece of furniture. 



The chair is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. More than 100 production steps are carried out by hand, and the seat is hand woven from 120 metres of paper cord that can last up to 50 years.
