Nau is the embodiment of a fresh approach to Australian design. Contemporary furniture, lighting and accessories designed by a collective of Australia’s most spirited designers including Adam Cornish, Adam Goodrum, Gavin Harris and Jack Flanagan – all powered by the design legacy of Cult.

Last week saw Cult kick off the Nau brand in their Sydney showroom, following brand launch events earlier this year at ICFF and DENFAIR. Cult teamed up with design writer Suzy Annetta to present a special Q&A event with a host of NAU designers to tell the NAU story, and converse about design processes and Australia’s design scene.

The event was a great success and a truly eye opening look into a great new brand on the Australian design scene. We can’t wait to see what’s next from Nau.
