Perth origins: Artedomus’ new showroom is open

Located in Bayswater, the new Artedomus base combines showroom and warehouse functions, offering Western Australia’s design professionals a central location for material exploration and collaboration. The opening is of course designed to strengthen Artedomus’ longstanding presence in WA and reinforces its commitment to the region’s architecture and design community.

“We are incredibly excited to expand our presence here with a dedicated showroom and warehouse destination that showcases our products, gives our Perth community access to our full range of national stock, and inspires and connects local architects and designers,” says Managing Director of Artedomus, Phil Brenton. “The Perth showroom is our love letter to the beauty and thriving design community of the West.”

Designed in line with the brand’s philosophy, the Perth showroom presents more than a traditional retail environment. A series of curated living vignettes throughout the space demonstrate real-world applications of Artedomus’ materials, tailored to reflect the local landscape in both colour and texture – distinct from the urban focus of Melbourne, the refinement of Sydney or Brisbane’s tropical modernism.

“We’ve referenced the raw natural beauty of our Western Australian surrounds,” says Thomas Coward, Creative Director at Artedomus. “Through this earthy palette of materials and furnishings, the showroom pays homage to WA’s rugged landscape, with tonal highlights of ochre, terracotta, burgundy and burnt red.”

The entrance features a reception desk clad in Japanese INAX mosaics. With its monolithic, geometric form, the piece references the modularity and precision typical of INAX products. The upper level of the showroom offers a light-filled layout, with interconnected vignettes that showcase key brands and materials across the perimeter.

These include Italian tile manufacturer Decoratori Bassanesi, known for its design-led collaborations, as well as Agape, the Italian bathware brand available exclusively through Artedomus in Australia. The showroom then also highlights New Volumes, Artedomus’ in-house collection of furniture, lighting and accessories. These are displayed alongside a wide range of Italian natural stone, Italian-made porcelain and handmade Japanese tiles.

The space culminates in a working kitchen and sample area, where visitors can assemble tactile mood boards using a broad selection of materials. The kitchen benchtop and cabinetry are finished in Maximum Viola porcelain slabs, characterised by bold red veining. A Vixel mosaic splashback adds visual depth, while an adjacent hospitality area features the Agapecasa Eros table by Angelo Mangiarotti, crafted in Carrara marble – providing a space for informal meetings and reflection.
