Experience the perfect harmony of First Nations design with the Autex Acoustics x Willie Weston Collection in the latest edition of The Edit.
April 14th, 2023
As the oldest continuous culture in the world, First Nations art has given voice to Australia’s story for more than 50,000 years. Indigenous art is communicative by nature, and is often used to chronicle knowledge of the land and beliefs held by the First Nations peoples. Contemporary Indigenous art is diverse, unbound by convention, and steeped in storytelling.
This collaboration between Autex Acoustics and Willie Weston represents a significant progression in the inclusion of First Nations culture and art into the built environment. This collection has been specifically curated for commercial, education and government spaces, though it will work seamlessly in office and hospitality settings as well. The potential for designs with this acoustic capacity is limitless.
Product-led and editorially curated, The Indesign Edit offers a unique perspective on the exceptional designers and brands across the Indo-Pacific region and beyond. Experience the perfect harmony of First Nations design in the latest edition of The Edit.
