Late November saw the unveiling and launch of Harbour Outdoor’s all-new flagship showroom in Sydney’s Waterloo – and the design community was there to celebrate
Outdoor furniture brand Harbour Outdoor has officially opened the doors on its flagship Waterloo showroom, showcasing the range of products that have made the brand synonymous with great design.
With over 100 enthusiastic architecture and design professionals in attendance, the launch event saw the lucky crowd treated to a preview of the summer collections, including Hayman, Hamilton and Balmain ranges, and celebrating the Condos family business in general, which had been handcrafting furniture in Australia since 1976.
During the festivities, founders and owners, Harriet and Jim Condos took the opportunity to introduce the newly appointed Australian showroom team, including Showroom and Sales Manager, Patryc Lampasi and Design and Sales Consultant, Matthew Shanahan.
On display and now available were a collection of outdoor furniture ranges, named after prominent beach and harbour locations across the country and abroad, specifically designed to withstand the harsh Australian climate. The harbour and coastal imagery continues with beautiful, scene setting wall photography from Phillip Thurston of Thurston Photo.
The event perfectly reflected Harbour Outdoor’s family legacy, with guests feeling like they were part of a big, yet close-knit, family gathering. Harbour Outdoor impressed with sprawling savoury and dessert displays, champagne and wine, catered by Elegancy Catering, and ongoing music throughout the evening, reminiscent of a summer cocktail party by the harbour.
Harbour Outdoor’s brand new store is located at No. 3, 1037 – 1047 Bourke St (entry via George St), Waterloo. The showroom is open seven days a week to retail and trade.

To honour Chef James Won’s appointment as Gaggenau’s first Malaysian Culinary Partner, we asked the gastronomic luminaire about parallels between Gaggenau’s ethos and his own practice, his multidimensional vision of Modern Malaysian – and how his early experiences of KFC’s accessible, bold flavours influenced his concept of fine dining.
Within the intimate confines of compact living, where space is at a premium, efficiency is critical and dining out often trumps home cooking, Gaggenau’s 400 Series Culinary Drawer proves that limited space can, in fact, unlock unlimited culinary possibilities.
Elevate any space with statement lighting to illuminate and inspire.
In design, the concept of absence is particularly powerful – it’s the abundant potential of deliberate non-presence that amplifies the impact of what is. And it is this realm of sophisticated subtraction that Gaggenau’s Dishwasher 400 Series so generously – and quietly – occupies.
