A milestone conversation with David Hicks
Published
The Melbourne-based interior designer is celebrating his eponymous practice’s quarter-century. He joins Timothy Alouani-Roby at The Commons during a flying visit to Sydney to discuss this milestone and much more.
It’s a very special year for David Hicks: the interior designer is celebrating 25 years of his own practice. We might also add that he joined us for a panel event in Milan earlier in the year, and will be coming along for more at Saturday Indesign in Melbourne during September!
In this in-person interview at The Commons in Surry Hills, Sydney, David discusses his childhood in Malaysia, finding inspiration in French design and of course the quarter-century milestone.
